Why doesnt my play button work on my mac for spotify

The play/pause button has no effect on the Spotify app whether it's the active window or not. The behaviour currently is (please note, tried with Fn key on and off, although really it should be off for play/pause to work): The main behaviour I want is for Spotify (the windows app as opposed to the web player in browser) to play/pause when I hit the button, whether it is an active window or not. Generally super happy but the play/pause button is mostly useless and I wondered if there's a fix for this as it would be really useful to have.
