How do I repeat only one song in the new Apple Music app?

Hi, I have recently updated my iPhone 6 to the iOS 8.4 and it now comes with a brand-new look Apple Music app. I love it but I don't know how to play my one favourite song on repeat because I couldn't find any repeat buttons like the ones in the previous versions of the Apple Music app.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

I know this has been answered so I am just answering because I was searching and thought I would add a screen shot for anyone who might have a hard time. So I had to scroll down a bit once expanding the player

I still can't get it to work. Even after reading this and trying it. if I am playing one song and have cleared out "up next' WHICH I **HATE** it will not repeat the one song. It either stops and goes back to the list of my music or it plays the next song in order but I can no longer get my iPad to simply repeat a song over and over in a loop. This update is CRAP...all the things that i used to do easily are now hidden, difficult or don't work. Anyone have a suggestion for a replacement to play music?

Thanks to all the replies. For anyone having issues ... the "button" is wonky and sometimes doesn't work. I had pressed it twice ( I never would have known this without the help here) and the song ended and the screen was blank. I tried again .. this time it worked. After pressing the 2nd time there is a tiny "1" to the right of the arrow on top. Not sure what that means. The whole thing is just not at all intuitive. The worst UI Apple has ever had!!!! I get nervous every time I try to interact with this app. Not sure I will bother with the paid version as I don't need this aggravation!! The Apple Store needs some workshops on how to use Apple Music.

The repeat option becomes available once you expand the mini player. The mini player is found at the bottom of the screen above the "My Music" "Playlist" "Radio" "Connect" buttons. Just tap on the name of the song playing and the mini player will expand. Once the mini player is expanded, you will see the shuffle and repeat options at the bottom of the screen. Hope this helps 🙂

Really not pleasant to use iMusic or iPhone/iPad any more. Months ago I had asked "I was searching for the same answer since updated my iOS on my iPhone recently........" Months later I still forget how it worked. I don't use my phone/ipad everyday for listening music. But when I need it is NOT pleasant to fiddle with it. Why all this complication just to repeat a song/album? I don't like to shuffle at all..!


I have been an 'Apple' user since early 90s. I totally agree with most of you here that this was one of the MOST STUPID thing "DONE" on UI of Music..!

Step 1: TAP the song that's playing at the BOTTOM of the screen. Eg: white blood.

Step2: Once you've reached this menu, with your finger drag the menu up like this. Be sure not to drag up the menu that has the red font that reads things such as "love it."

Step 3: you'll see an option to repeat or shuffle in red font above the song list, as shown below.
