Can’t play music on apple watch using Siri

When i ask Siri to play a specific song on my apple watch 6 OS 10.3.1 ,it simply opens the apple music app but doesn’t search for the song I asked for and doesn’t start playing it. The only solution I have found to be working right now is to ask Siri to play the specific song using the Apple Music app . Only that way does it actually search the song and start playing it.

so pretty much you have to specify which app you want to use every time you ask Siri to play a song through your Apple Watch.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 10

I’m having this same issue. I called support and they escalated it to senior staff. They told me to reset my watch and set up as new and it didn’t fix it. I have a question for you though. If you have an iPhone and you hold the power button to bring up Siri and you ask it to play a playlist you made does it respond with “looks like Apple Music can’t play this”? Also, I don’t have a music subscription either. It’s so weird.
