My Question or Issue

A couple of weeks ago, my On Repeat and Repeat Rewind playlists replaced the clean versions of the songs I have been listening to with the Explicit versions. For years, these two playlists have always been based on the actual song I listened to. I have been told to turn off Explicit Songs, but it doesn't solve the problem. I'm not even listening to the Explicit version of some songs, and they're still showing up in my playlist. Something has changed on the backend where it seems like the wrong URI is being pulled into my playlist, and I'd really just like to have my playlist back to how they used to work.

I attached two pictures. Two songs that I have been listening to from my latest 2025 Wrapped, that are Clean but are showing up Explicit on my On Repeat: WYD & CHOPPA, **bleep** IT, POP IT.

Hi! So, it's been MONTHS, and this is STILL an issue. Honestly, it's ridiculous, and I don't understand why it's taken so long to fix this when it's been working just fine for years. Is there any update on when someone will look into this? I haven't been able to use my On Repeat playlist all year.
