Low volume in specific parts of a song on iPhone

I noticed when I play “Crystal Skies” on my iPhone, some of the parts of the music are toned down? Especially at 1:20 - 1:30 in the music I can notice the volume gradually get lowered. I tried playing the same music on my iPad and the same thing doesn’t happen and tried screen recording it and when I play the screen recording on my iPhone the same thing happens but doesn’t happen on my iPad when I play the screen recording.. The weird thing is the transition is smooth? I’m not sure if it’s a normal iOS thing because I searched it up on google and tried the things they said would work but nothing changes. Is this a software issue or hardware issue? Please be not a hardware issue.. 😞

Does this by chance happen in Apple Music? iOS 26 introduced a new feature for Apple Music, called AutoMix, which seamlessly blends songs together. That could very well be what you are experiencing. You can turn it off by tapping the icon with three lines to open the queue, then tap the icon below the song playing with two circles.
