Hey @TwinOfChase, thanks for asking in the Community! 🎵

 

Although you have already tried a re-installation, I would recommend a clean-install of the Spotify app using this guide. It tends to fix most such issues easily.

 

If that still doesn't work, and you are using the local files feature for other songs, turn it off in settings and see if that helps. Also, make sure you don't have any VPN/Ad-Blocker/DNS service active or add Spotify to the exclusions.

 

Keep me posted. 🙂
