Explicit Content on Deezer

Rebecca Rebecca
  • Updated

Not everybody wants to listen to music with explicit lyrics, and we understand that. When browsing our catalog, you'll see content tagged with EXPLICIT or E. We work hard with record labels, industry partners and our users to ensure our content is tagged correctly to tailor your listening experience to your needs.

Note: If you find content that you think has been labelled incorrectly, please use our webform to report the issue

How to filter explicit content

Note: By default, Deezer users can access all explicit content, including tracks and cover art.

  1. Go to Settings Settings.png
  2. Select Explicit content
  3. If you want to disable explicit content, select Hide explicit content Slider.png. Any explicit content will be made grey and unplayable

    Note: This filter prevents content from appearing in searches, Flow or recommendations. All cover art tagged as explicit will also be hidden.

    If you still want to search and play explicit content, select Do not recommend explicit content Slider.png, which will stop explicit content from being recommended in your Flow and mixes.

    Warning: You must first select Do not recommend explicit content before you can select Hide explicit content, which prevents explicit content from being recommended, playable or searchable

  1. Go to Settings Settings.png
  2. Select Explicit content
  3. If you want to disable explicit content, select Hide explicit content Slider.png. Any explicit content will be made grey and unplayable.

    Note: This filter prevents content from appearing in searches, Flow or recommendations. All cover art tagged as explicit will also be hidden.

    If you still want to search and play explicit content, select Do not recommend explicit content Slider.png, which will stop explicit content from being recommended in your Flow and mixes.

  1. Go to your profile Profile.png
  2. Select Account Settings
  3. Select the Display settings tab

    Note: This may be located under the More DropdownArrow.svg dropdown due to your screen size

  4. Select Do not recommend explicit content Slider.png

    Note: If you use the slider to select Do not recommend explicit content, a second setting, Hide explicit content Slider.png, will appear. If selected, explicit content won't be recommended, playable or searchable
