Testing the song download with my software and worked for me, so the error is on your end. I'll paste here what I told someone else with errors. Always try this method to troubleshoot download errors.

Run the following commands in cmd. What versions do you have installed of the following programs? (this is assuming all items are in the same folder as is my case for spotdl, youtube-dl, ffmpeg, and python)
C:\Users\ ***\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts>python --version
Python 3.8.1

C:\Users\ ***\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts>spotdl --version
spotdl 1.2.4

C:\Users\ ***\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts>youtube-dl --version
2020.02.16

C:\Users\ ***\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts>ffmpeg --version
ffmpeg version git-2020-02-16-8578433 Copyright (c) 2000-2020 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 9.2.1 (GCC) 20200122

If you get anything other than this run pip install -U _youtube-dl_ (or pip3 install -U _youtube-dl_). Substitute youtube-dl for whatever program is out of date

Thanks @xelam93 running pip install -U youtube-dl solved this issue for me

@xelam93 Thank you for the help! Y'all need to update youtube-dl as mentioned.
