If you used the 'check for available downloads' menu option then did you have automatic downloads turned 'on' for music (which will only show if you are in a country where music can be redownloaded) on your Mac when you bought the song ? If you did then the check should have downloaded it.


If you are in a country where you can redownload music then it should show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading, if you aren't then you will need to connect the phone to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
