No option to "Manually Manage Music"...

I'm trying to transfer one of my original songs to my iPhone 5 and the current version of iTunes is showing an option to Manually Manage Music. I've been an apple user for quite some time and would like to get this issue resolved. I don't like syncing my entire library. Thanks in advance!!!

iPhone 5, iOS 9.3.1

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7163823 - If you have signed up for Apple Music or iTunes Match you won't have the option to manually manage or sync music to a device in iTunes. Music syncing is done through iCloud and all your eligible music should appear there. Movies can still be synced.


A bit more about this, and some options- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7194995 and: Move content from iTunes on your computer to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
