Good afternoon Alliebubbles,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I understand you have some questions about what happens to music you've purchased from iTunes when you purchase a new iPhone. Your Apple ID account contains all of your iTunes Store purchases, so you will always have access to the music, books, movies, apps, etc. that you purchase using that account.

You can redownload your purchased content to any Apple device at any time:
Redownload music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books from the iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and App Store

When you purchase a new iPhone, what usually happens is that you will first make an iCloud or iTunes backup of your existing iPhone. Then when you set up your new iPhone, you will restore that backup onto the new device, so the contents will be the same.

I'll include some resources below that will explain this in more detail.

How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Transfer content from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

What to do before you sell or give away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch​

Enjoy your day!
