Trying to filter explicit recommendations

JListener — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 04:36:55 GMT

Hey guys. I have created a playlist, and Spotify is recommending a few songs to me. Most of the recommendations are fine, but there are a few songs in the "recommended based on what is in this playlist" section under my playlist that don't qualify as explicit because they don't have explicit lyrics, but have album covers with explicit nudity. I am trying to live a life my free of that, and I have tried many different times to get Spotify to stop recommending those songs, but it does not offer a way to remove those recommendations. The closest thing it offers is an option that says "exclude from taste profile," and then it is still there afterwards, saying that listening to the song won't affect what is recommended to my playlist. It is not helping at all.

Is there anything I can do to get rid of these recommendations? I really don't want to scrap my playlist just so I don't have to see explicit content, but it's getting really irritating.

Hi there @JListener,

Thanks for reaching out. We'll happily help you take full control of your library and recommendations.

We understand your concern and appreciate the feedback. At the moment, it's not possible to filter out content based on album covers, so the best course of action would be the things you already mentioned. Using the explicit filter and managing your Taste Profile to better adapt the recommendations to your own tastes.

If filtering specifically by album covers or simply hiding them from view is something you'd like to see, check out this idea. Feel free to vote for it to show your support and share it around to help it gain traction.

Let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.
