What kind of song is it? Purchased? Ripped? Downloaded from P2P?

Try resetting the iPod.

If resetting doesn't work, restore and resync the iPod.

Sometimes if the iPod skips a song you can press the back button and it will play the song.

Purchased songs only. How do I resync and if I restore will it delete everything on it?

Thanks

Yes a restore will delete the iPod.

Are you on automatic or manual update?

make sure that the song is authorized on your computer and update the iPod.
