How do I wrestle back the control of my play button from Spotify?

Hello everyone,

I use my headset's call button to pause and skip audio in the various apps. This external control is important to me as I am often on the move. The normal Android behavior is that the button controls whichever app you are using at the moment. If I turn on Spotify then it takes control of the play button, but then it does not let go of it.

 

If I switch to another app, like PowerAmp (where I spend more time) the play button will actually stop PowerAmp and start Spotify. This will happen even if I force-close Spotify through settings! Even restarting my phone no longer seems to work (like it used to). I had to uninstall Spotify so that I can use other apps, which is unfortunate because I only recently subscribed. Is this fixable?

 

I am on LG v10, with the latest Android update.
