How to recover a lost Apple Music playlist with 500+ songs?

Hi there, so I accidentally removed all my music from my playlist except for 1 song, and I am wondering if I am able to revert to a previous version of my playlist. It had like 500+ songs that I have been building up for a couple of years now. So if there is any way of saving my playlist, it would be greatly appreciated ;-;.


For context, I was on my laptop and booted up Apple Music on 11/29/2025, I signed out of my account and signed back in, and I am not sure what buttons I could have pressed, but all of a sudden, only 1 song shows on the playlist. I didn't think too much of it since I was thinking "oh, it might just be bugging". The next day, I'm about to take a road trip, and it only shows 1 song on the playlist.


So if there is any advice on getting my playlist back, I appreciate it very much. I would think that there is a way a worker could dig in the cloud and retrieve it, but if there is something that I could do, please let me know. But if it's a loss, I will just grieve the years of hard work that I put into that list.


Thank you, people.
