In [[music]], a '''radio edit''', or '''radio mix''', is a modification, typically truncated or [[Music censorship|censored]], intended to make a song more suitable for [[airplay]]. It may be censored for [[profanity]], vulgarities, or subject matter; or adjusted for length, instrumentation, or form. Radio edits may also be used for commercial single release radio versions, which may be denoted as the '''7″ version''' (as opposed to the [[Twelve-inch single|12″ version]], which is an extended version of a song).

Not all "radio edit" tracks are played on the radio.
