How to Stop Spotify Text Box Appearing Onscreen?

A regular bug I face on my Macbook Air (M1, 2020) is when a small text box pops up on my screen showing what song is playing on Spotify. This box moves based on where my cursor is at the song's start and is overlayed over every app I have open, but I can't seem to find anyone to remove it.


Usually I just hope it goes away quickly, and sometimes it does, but it's been like this since yesterday. Restarting and shutting down the machine, exiting out of Spotify, and moving to a new desktop have not helped. Has anyone else run into this weird bug before?

With third-party apps, you can always try deleting and reinstalling the app. I haven't noticed this problem with Spotify, so I really don't have any way of testing it myself.

Does Spotify show in System Settings > Notifications?


If you open Spotify preferences (profile) do you see any options about notifications?
