@Adjohnston Nice to see you around the community.
Want explicit versions of songs to play:
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.
Explicit track is displayed on now playing screen, however clean audio is being played:
If you are experiencing a separate issue where the explicit track is displayed on now playing screen, however clean audio is being played, please follow up with the information requested in the accepted solution to this thread: Explicit Tracks now Censored
Thanks for working with me on this.
