You are NOT sending the actual song. You are sending a link to the song. So, if they don't have an Apple Music Subscription, they won't be able to stream the song.

The other person might be able to listen to a preview of a few seconds’ worth of the song - enough to identify it. (Similar to how you can listen to short previews in the iTunes Store).
It would be easy enough for the OP to test this out.
