Can't play explicit content (E) rated songs on Apple Music.

Find a podcast marked ‘E’, then try to play it. It will ask confirmation for playing explicit content.

You can also find a song marked ‘E’ in the iTunes Store, then play the sample. It will ask confirmation for playing explicit content.

After that, try Apple Music again. It should now allow it.

I had the same issue on iOS 12. I tried turning on "Explicit" under content restrictions but that didn't help. But finally, as someone had mentioned earlier, I opened iTunes Store. It said that explicit content was turned off and asked if I wanted to turn it on. I selected turn on and previewed an explicit track in the iTunes Store just to be sure. Then I opened the Music app, and voila, explicit songs can now be played!

Some users have reported that it started working again for them with music, after allowing explicit content in the Podcast app.

Please explain how to do that. I can’t find such option under podcast settings.
