Spotify Plays when I lock my iphone

[MattNZ11]

If I pause Spotify on my iPhone XS (Latest version of iOS and spotify) the music stops. Then whenever I hit the lock button on the right side of the phone the music starts playing again? So I have to exit the spotify app every time which is incredibly annoying. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

Closing the app through the multitask function usually solves the problem for me. Came here to see if there were any other more convenient one-off solutions...
