Are tracks that were once explicit now only playing the censored version instead?

We try to buy unedited versions of all music and comedy we acquire, but sometimes a clean version is all that's available. This is particularly common with movie soundtracks and best-of collections.

Sometimes our licensing for certain content may expire. Other times we get the radio edit of a track before we get the original, and the tracks are indistinguishable from one another from a database perspective.

For that reason, Pandora might select a clean track from one of these sources instead of a nearly identical track from another album. This is an unfortunate reality of the record business: sometimes songs that are not identical are labeled as identical.

Finally, the lyrics preview will always display "clean" lyrics. If you'd like to view the full, uncensored text, click Show more or See all lyrics.

To report any tracks that were once explicit but are now censored, please create a new thread in the My Collection space with the following information:

The device you are using to stream Pandora:
The name of the station where this occurred:
The name(s) of the artist(s):
The title(s) of the censored track(s):
The date/time the track played:
Confirmation that you were able to give the censored track(s) a Thumbs down:
Were you listening using a Pandora Mode like Crowd Faves, Discovery or Deep Cuts?:
A screenshot of the censored track that plays on your station:

Once we have this information, we can report it to our curation team for you.

Thanks for your help!
