Apple Music playing songs I didn’t download

I have an iPhone 12 and when I download and add only one song off of an artists album to my music library, it will play other songs from that album if I’m using shuffle.

Can someone please tell me if there’s a way to stop this ?

Ok so when I was in my car today and had shuffle on and looked at the songs in the play next, I did see songs that I didn’t download and they still played.

I’m at a loss for this one 🤷🏼‍♀️


EDIT: I was able to remove them but if I have to do that every time, it’s going to be really annoying.

Verify the same Play Next screen when playing a shuffled song to see if the AutoPlay icon is highlighted and also to view what songs it is intending to play next. I do find if I play a song by browsing on Apple Music without selecting it from my Library or Playlist it will play that song and Play Next will show similar songs that I do not have and not give me the option to AutoPlay or not.
