Strange Icon I can't get rid of

[Android Central Question]

I have a HTC one and recently a new icon has come up which looks like a message icon but when you click on it brings up play and skip buttons but doesn't do anything expect highlight things on my home screen? I can move the icon around the screen but I can't seem to close or get rid of it. I'm hoping some here knows what this is and how I can remove or close it as it's getting really annoying.
