Apple Music allows you to repeat songs within the Music app itself or from the Quick Access menu.
Steps
Method 1 Method 1 of 2:
Repeating a Song
1 Tap your Home button. If you have a passcode enabled, this will prompt you to enter your passcode; otherwise, this will take you to the Home screen.
2 Tap the "Music" app. This will open your Music app to the last song, playlist, album, or similar item that you had open. Advertisement
3 Tap the "Library" tab in the lower left corner of your screen. This will open your music library.
4 Tap the "Songs" tab. This will take you to your song list; you can select a song from here.
5 Tap a song. This will begin to play your selected song. You should see a bar pop up at the bottom of your Music app with the song's name and pause button.
6 Tap the song's play bar at the bottom of the screen. This will open your song's specific menu; if your song's menu is already open (e.g., displaying artwork in the middle of the page), proceed to the next step.
7 Swipe up on the song page. This will scroll down the page; you should see an option entitled "Up Next" with two buttons next to it.
8 Tap the "Repeat" button. This is the option with two arrows pointing in opposite directions; when you tap it, it should become highlighted in red, meaning that your playlist will repeat without ending.
You can also enable "Shuffle" from here by tapping the button with two intertwined arrows.
9 Tap the Repeat button again. This will place a small number "1" in the top right corner of the Repeat button icon; your individual song will now repeat until you disable this option!
Tapping the "previous song" or "next song" buttons while on repeat will now change the song that's playing, regardless of the repeat function.

Method 2 Method 2 of 2:
Using the Quick Access Menu
1 Swipe up from the bottom of your screen. This will open the Quick Access menu, which can be used to play music.
If you have the Music app open and a song or playlist paused, the Quick Access menu's music page will display that song's information and your listening progress.
2 Swipe left on the Quick Access menu. This will take you to the dedicated music page of the Quick Access menu.
3 Tap the "Play" button. This will begin playing a song from your Music app.
4 Tap the song's artwork icon. This will be in the top left corner of the Quick Access music page; tapping it will take you to the song's specific information inside of the Music app.
If you don't have any artwork for the song in question, tap the grey square in its place.
You can do this from your lock screen, but if you have a passcode, you'll need to enter it in order to access the music app.
5 Swipe up on the song page. This will scroll down to the "Up Next" bar.
6 Tap the "Repeat" button. This will be next to the "Up Next" text; tapping the repeat button will repeat your "Up Next" playlist.
7 Tap the "Repeat" button again. This will repeat the current song until you disable the repeat feature. You should see a little "1" in the top right corner of the Repeat icon. Advertisement
