How to use a different Apple ID for Apple Music and iCloud

I have 2 Apple IDs. One is used for the App Store and all purchases, and one is used for iCloud. I had signed up to Apple Music on the first account, and was using it fine for a few months, then my iPhone randomly signed me out and into the 2nd Apple ID. It now says I'm not subscribed and all my playlists and info are gone. I can't find a way to sign back in without signing out of my iCloud account and losing everything else. It was working perfectly fine using 2 accounts up until now so I don't know what is happening.

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Go to Settings > [name on top]. Check the Apple ID used for Subscriptions and Media & Purchases. You can use a different Apple ID in those 2 locations that will allow you access to Apple Music and Subscriptions that are different then your Apple ID used for iCloud. The Apple ID used for Apple Music should be in there.
