Goodbye & Good Riddance only plays censored version of songs

Why are most of the juice wrld songs censored now 😭 the whole album “goodbye and good riddance” is censored but was explicit before. Is there a way to switch it back?

@Ercapen Nice to see you around the community.

I do see we have the explicit version of that album available here: Goodbye & Good Riddance (5 Year Anniversary Edition)

To clarify, when you select a track to play from that album, does it display as explicit on the now playing screen, however the audio is actually the clean version of the track?

Or is the issue that when you are listening to a station, you'd prefer to hear the explicit version of the track, however you are often served the clean version instead?

Let me know.

All of the songs I liked off that album previously that were explicit came up clean. But now I’m seeing two options in his albums with the explicit versions. That wasn’t there when I sent this message. But none of those songs are liked so I’m not sure if something just recently changed but it would show it coming up clean when I’ve always listened to the explicit versions

Thank you for clarifying, @Ercapen.

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.

I recommend giving a thumbs down to any clean tracks that play on your station. Doing so will not prevent the explicit version from playing on your station, only the specific clean track that you give the thumbs down to.

I hope this helps explain!

Hi! I’m having the same problem, in my app I checked the settings and the music should not be censored. As far as I’ve noticed It is ONLY juice wrld songs. Could it be something on the pandora side? Please help it really pulls you out of the music

@Jbear1479 Nice to see you around the community.

Another user reported similar behavior earlier this month, ,so I moved your post over to this existing thread: Goodbye & Good Riddance only plays censored version of songs

I took a look at all of the clean tracks by Juice WRLD that played on your account so far this year, and they were from the same album that @Ercapen also reported: Goodbye & Good Riddance (5 Year Anniversary Edition)

I'll Be Fine by Juice WRLD (clean)
Lucid Dreams by Juice WRLD (clean)
Hurt Me by Juice WRLD (clean)

Your feedback has been escalated to our curation team so they can help look into this further.

Thank you two so much for reporting this!
