Explicit content filter

Spotify includes explicit content because we offer it how the artist intends it to be heard.

Look out for EXPLICIT or E tags on any releases.

Note: We tag explicit content depending on information we receive from rights-holders.

Report explicit content

To report a song, podcast, or audiobook that isn’t tagged correctly, contact us.

Filter explicit content

Pick your device to allow or block anything with explicit tags.

When explicit content is switched off, anything with an explicit tag is grayed out. You can’t play it, and it’s automatically skipped.

Note: If you’re using Spotify Connect to control another device, changes to explicit content settings apply when you play something next.

Finding clean versions

You can check for clean versions of anything with an explicit tag.

Note: Some explicit releases may not have a clean version.
