How Do I make my audio not sound like it was remixed?

Hello.  I'm having a problem with my background music on Premiere Pro.  Essentially, the source audio plays like it should with no glitches or distortion, however; when I search for that audio clip through media browser and place it on my timeline, the audio sounds like it has been remixed.  It sounds nothing like the original.  The thing is I've been using the same background music for a couple of months now with no issues. Now all of a sudden it became an issue.  How do I fix something like this? 

 

I'll attach the original audio and the audio Premiere Pro is giving me to help better explain my problem.  The original audio is labeled "SONG_FOR_YOUTUBE" and the distorted son on Premiere Pro is labeled "Background audio glitch"

If that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Hi Peru Bob!  Deleting the media cache helped my background music sound normal again!  Thank you for your help!

Also, please note that I'm only familiar with basic terminology with Premiere Pro. I'm still learning and don't know all the technical terms for everything. Thank you.
