Is this music that you purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, and it only happens for a few songs, then the music files might have gotten corrupted somehow. Try deleting and redownload them: See the 'Redownload music in iTunes on your PC' section in:

Redownload music - Apple Support

If it happens for every song, then see:

Or is it music that you acquired with an Apple Music subscription or have an iTunes Match subscription? If so, you might be able to fix your issue by turning Sync Library off for all of your devices, then turning it back on again.  Learn how.
