How to stop Pandora running in background

My Pandora keeps running in the background on my phone and draining my battery. I have gone into the app and have completely signed out of Pandora to stop it, but when I looks to see what apps are using up my battery, it says Pandora is running in the background. My battery will go from 100% at night to 70% in the morning, when I'm not using my phone at all. Is there any other way to make it stop running in the background besides signing out, because obviously that isn't helping. I have also previously turned off the background app refresh on my phone. Aside from completely uninstalling it, I'm not sure what else to do.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.0.2

Note that the data shown in the Battery settings covers 24 hours, so if you used Pandora any time in the previous 24 hours it will be listed.

To kill Pandora (or any other app): Launch the app. Press HOME and wait a second or two. Double-press HOME. Swipe up on the app's screen image to kill it and remove it from the background processing queue. (On an iPhone X tap the "x" on the image instead).

Thank you for your response, however, I have not had my Pandora running in the past week or longer, however it is still running in the background. I have also closed all apps by double clicking home and swiping up as I do that any time I open an app and then close my phone. It's still running in the background.

On a different subject, you should be charging your phone overnight. If you leave it plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi, and turn on iCloud backups, the phone will be backed up every night when the phone has power, Wi-Fi and is locked. So you can never lose more than one day's new data if your phone breaks or is lost or stolen.

That's pretty much impossible, but I guess the only solution is to delete the app.
