Make sure you build the query step by step:

  • Start with the Media table
  • Add the common table (Media_Genres) to be able to "connect" the right Genres to the Media item
  • The Media_Genres table should be joined based on the Media_id
  • Now the Media_Genres is connected, you can join the Genres table
  • Genres.genre_id can be connected to the Media_Genres.genre_id

Ultimately you will end up with:

SELECT * FROM Media 
JOIN Media_Genres ON Media_Genres.media_id = Media.media_id
JOIN Genres ON Genres.genre_id = Media_Genres.genre_id
WHERE Media.media_id = 3;
