There would be words like:
“Stay with Me” and “I’m not the Only One”,
"Latch"

I cannot remove those double-quotes. Tried .replace, .strip, even if I .split them up or turn them into a list. I can remove other special characters like punctuation, apostrophe, period, etc. etc.... but never the double-quotes.
Hi!
It's just a thought, but I think that maybe it's because you are using different types of double quotes, and probably eliminating just one type of them.
The double quotes in
“Stay with Me” are, for instance, different from the double quotes in "Latch".All the best,
