How can I fix music playback issues in iMovie?

Hi, I have recorded a 35 minute movie. I have added music to it, and just before the movie is supposed to play, my music disappears! It says the music should play, but it doesn't!

You may want to check your iPhone has enough memory / storage space free for your projject.

Eg: An iPhone generally needs around 8 Gb free in which to operate smoothly.
