Hi luvrajpurohit,


Thanks for the post in Apple Support Communities. I understand you're unable to play content with explicit lyrics in Apple Music.


To verify, you've tapped Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions, and "Music, Podcasts & News" is set to Explicit. Is that right? Or is Screen Time off entirely?


As a test, try opening the iTunes Store on your device and search for one of the songs you're unable to play. Then, tap the song title to play a preview, and then try playing the song in Apple Music; does that make a difference?


You could also try using this link and searching for a song to make sure the explicit version is available in your region: iTunes Link Maker


I hope this helps get you started. Take care.
