Hey there, and welcome back to Clued In!
A setter is not all devious and the embodiment of pure deceit. They are obliged to be fully truthful about every piece of misdirection they are employing. So, the better attention we solvers pay to the clue’s wordplay, the more likely and certain we are piecing the answer together.
CLUE: Country song after limited expansion (8)
Clue types: position, letter-pick
A kind of classical ‘song’ is ARIA.
Another word for ‘expansion’ is BULGE. ‘Limited’ is an indication that we need to leave out the last letter, and so we get left with BULG.
