Music improperly labeled as "E" for Explicit

Music improperly labeled as "E" for Explicit

Hi, I'm the lyricist and songwriter for a band which has had content on Spotify for more than 10 years. I noticed some time back that a few of my newer songs, again these are songs for which I myself wrote the lyrics, are labeled with an "E" for explicit content. This is simply not the case.

 

I've tried contacting support and chatting online with representatives, but nobody has ever bothered to provide to me an explanation as to why this is the case, nor has anyone ever resolved the issue. 

 

It's a big deal to me, and I'd like some help in getting this resolved.

Some songs by certain bands aren’t marked as explicit like they should be—for example, “Iron”, “Shot in the Dark”, etc. by Within Temptation. A lot of bands have incorrectly marked songs; some of them are explicit marked when they’re not actually explicit, or vise versa. I’d like Spotify to fix that.
