Items in the music library and created playlists from the Apple Music subscription service will be removed if the subscription is cancelled or discontinued for any reason.


They will not be brought back automatically once the subscription is resumed. You must manually recreate them, or had saved them to a file from a computer, and re-imported them once the subscription was active again.

Before now I have never had this problem, if my subscription ended I was always able to renew it after some time of not having it and all my songs and playlists would be there. My phone was completely shattered and unusable, in the time between my phone being broken and me getting a new one my subscription had ended and I had no way of knowing due to not having a phone. On my new phone, after renewing my subscription, none of my 15,000+ songs and multiple playlists are there but my “replay”(top 100 songs you’ve listened to for the year) was there for the last 4 years. I’ve never had this be an issue before, anytime my subscription would end I could take any amount of time to renew it and everything would still be there even if it’s not downloaded either. I have over 15,000+ songs, there is no way I can remember and remake any of that.
