How did it get onto the old iPhone?
If it was synced from a computer, then you need to do the same thing with the new iPhone and sync it from the computer that has the music.
click here ➜ Connect your device to your Mac to sync Music content - Apple Support
or
click here ➜ Sync music between your Windows device and iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
Alternatively if you subscribe to the Apple Music service and had enabled the Sync Library option on the old iPhone, then make sure its also enabled on the new one in Settings ➜ Apps ➜ Music ➜ Sync Library.
click here ➜. Use Sync Library with your Apple Music subscription - Apple Support
This option is only available if you subscribe to Apple Music.
