My Question or Issue

This is infuriating to Google because everything I find is the reverse of my issue. On the Spotify app on my iPhone the only option is to pause a song, which locks the state of Spotify inside the app. This is most of the time a useful feature, but I want to be able to have the option to completely close and stop a song and remove the visual clutter of the now playing bar at the bottom of the screen when I am not actually playing something. If I lock the iPhone, I also get a big banner which suggests I am still listening to something when I am not. I dunno, I just find this super annoying it seems to be glued there permanently. Is there really no way to fully close this?
