Music Stops Playing When Other Apps in Use

(Iphone 10, US, Free plan, IOS? Not the most recent one)

I am having an issue with keeping music playing on my iphone.  When I go to browse other apps or put on the lock screen, the music will immedeatly stop playing and cannot be turned back on until the spotify app is specifically brought up.  I didn't have problems with this before today, though in some cases when I was reading comics via webtoon, the music would stop playing as I changed page or chapter of the comic I was reading...

Can someone help me out with this, is this a new feature of spotify that has arrived with the new year?  Or is it some sort of glitch?
