In Suno V5, a song you don’t own can auto-play because it’s loaded into the global session player, not your library. You can’t delete it, dislike it away, or remove it permanently. The reliable fix is to switch to Create mode, play one of your own songs, or reset the session.

This question comes up often, especially from newer Suno users:

“I’m logged into my Suno account, and there’s a song on the right side of my page that keeps turning on and playing. It’s not my song. I want to delete it, but I don’t see how.”

If this is happening to you, the short answer is important: you cannot delete that song — and you’re not doing anything wrong.

What’s Actually Happening in Suno V5

In Suno V5, the song playing on the right-hand side is part of a global session player.

This player:

• Is not tied to song ownership
• Persists across browsing and navigation
• Can load songs you do not own

If you click a public song, land on a song page, or browse recommendations, Suno may pin that track into the right-side player and resume it automatically.

This is expected behavior in Suno V5 — not a bug.

Why You Don’t See This in Create Mode

You may notice something important: this never happens when you’re actively creating music.

That’s because Create mode in Suno V5 suppresses the global player.

In Create mode:

• The right-side autoplay player is disabled
• Playback is limited to your current song or Studio timeline
• Recommended or public tracks do not auto-load

Power users who live in Create mode almost never encounter this issue. Newer or browsing-focused users do.

Can I Like or Dislike the Song to Stop It?

This is a very reasonable follow-up question:

“Isn’t there a way to dislike the song so it won’t auto-play again?”

Likes: Yes — but they don’t affect autoplay

You can like a song in Suno V5, but liking is used for engagement and discovery, not playback control.

Dislikes: No — not in any functional way

Suno V5 does not offer a true dislike, hide, or “don’t play this again” option. There is no control that blocks a song or prevents it from reappearing in the session.

In short: you cannot dislike a song away.

Why “Delete” Still Isn’t an Option

Suno only allows deletion of songs that you generated and that exist in your library. A sidebar song you don’t own is not a saved asset — it’s just the last active track in the global player.

What You Can Do (Suno V5–Accurate Fixes)

• Switch to Create mode to suppress the global player
• Play one of your own songs to replace the pinned track
• Pause playback before navigating to reduce re-autoplay
• Refresh or log out/in to clear the session state

What You Cannot Do in Suno V5

• Disable autoplay globally
• Remove the sidebar player permanently
• Delete songs you don’t own
• Dislike or block a song from auto-playing

The Key Takeaway

This behavior is a session-based UI feature in Suno V5. Once you understand that it’s about context — not ownership or preferences — it becomes easy to manage and stops being frustrating.
