Daily life
have something on
leave a device playing
To have something on means to leave a radio, television or music playing.
Hear it in real life
Why is the television on?
I like to have it on in the background.
I usually have some music on while I cook dinner.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I have the radio playing on.
Say: I have the radio on.
For this meaning, put 'on' after the device to say it is switched on or playing.
