You can't steal something you already own. Just download an unencrypted copy. There is nothing morally questionable about that.

For what its worth to OP you might want to look at what laws apply in your area. Many countries may indeed be okay with you downloading a song you already own (as per transiet punk) BUT be against you breaking copyright protection (decrypting it).
Yeah, I had a de-gooogled android ROM that wouldn't allow me to verify that I had in fact bought an app. So I just downloaded the unlocked apk and it just works.
DRM music in 2024?
Steal the song because you do own it and DRM is trying to steal it from you.
It's like saying someone stole your bike and you don't want to be immoral by stealing it back.
