Is it a list of songs you specifically don't like? ;)
Did you prepare the list for someone else? and you assume that this person would not like this song?
Was the playlist simply too long? you needed a shorter one?
Is the length of the deleted song relevant? is it very long?

Is the song a duplicate or almost the same as another song on the list?
Is there any other relevant playlist on the same device? another device?

Is the playlist for you? Do you plan to listen to it? If so, are the circumstances under which you listen to it relevant? If you are not going to listen to it yourself, do you intend for it to be played?

Did you choose the song specifically? Have circumstances changed so the song or artist is no longer appropriate for the playlist? Is this cancel culture in action?

Did you want the playlist to have a specific number of songs? A specific duration? Are the songs you add to this playlist supposed to follow some sort of theme?

Is it relevant what platform/streaming service the playlist was in? Did you switch from listening to an mp3 you downloaded of this song to an online version that had recently become available? Or vice versa?

Did the song you removed not fit in that playlist for some reason?
Did you collect a playlist for workout? therefore you were searching for songs with a particular bpm?
Is the language of the song relevant?
Did you have a misconception about the song when you added it to the playlist in the first place?

Is another song on the playlist relevant?

Do you relevantly listen to the playlist during some activity? If so, working? exercising? chores? cooking? reading?
Are any other people relevantly listening to the playlist?

Would you listen to this playlist when indoors? when outdoors?
when travelling? driving? cycling? walking?
Are the words of the song relevant? the pitch? the tune? the instruments used? the singer?
Did you think the song could mask a sound you do not want to miss? like the doorbell? the phone?

WAG: Are you trying to fall asleep with some music, but after listening to it so many times you start singing along, defeating its original purpose of helping you fall asleep?

Is the rhythm of the song relevant? Does it make you walk slower? Faster? Stumble? I have a friend who can't listen to certain alternative rock songs she likes while walking, because their rhythm changes throw her off her pace.

are car honks relevant - that they're featured in the song and you don't want to mistake as real ones?

********SPOILER********

One of the songs (Phoebe Bridgers - Scott Street) on the playlist that I like to listen to when going for a walk features a ringing sound reminiscent of a bike bell. Living in a country where approx. 50 % of the population is on a bike at any given time, I get startled every time I hear it. After three or four times of jumping out of the way of a non-existent bike, I deleted the song.

I relate deeply to this puzzle. If there are any kind of real-world sound effects in a piece of music, I am someone who constantly mistakes them for something going on outside the song. XD
