Music continuing to play after closing the app is often due to the background app refresh setting on your device, allowing apps to run in the background. To stop this, go into your device's settings, find the 'Apps' or 'Applications' menu, locate the music app, and adjust the 'Background App Refresh' or 'Close after exit' settings. Implementing this change should ensure that music doesn’t play once you've exited the app.
