Yes. A YouTube Premium membership includes YouTube Music Premium at no additional monetary cost, so you do not need a separate music subscription to get its paid listening features. The music benefits are used in the separate YouTube Music app; YouTube Premium also adds benefits for watching videos on YouTube.
What YouTube Premium includes for music
YouTube describes the bundle as a YouTube Music Premium subscription “at no monetary cost” for YouTube Premium members. The paid benefits are available across YouTube, YouTube Kids, and YouTube Music, subject to the relevant app, location, device, and content conditions. YouTube Help: sign up for Premium memberships

How the bundled plan differs from standalone Music Premium
Both choices provide music-focused Premium benefits in YouTube Music. The key distinction is whether you also want YouTube’s video benefits: YouTube Premium covers ad-free video viewing in covered contexts, background play, and video downloads, while standalone YouTube Music Premium is focused on music listening.

| YouTube Premium | YouTube Music Premium features, including ad-free music, background playback, and downloads | Video benefits on YouTube, including ad-free viewing in covered contexts, background play, and downloads |

What “ad-free” does—and does not—mean
Premium removes YouTube-served ads in covered contexts, but it does not remove every promotion. Creators may include sponsorships or other promotions directly in their videos, and live events or excluded offerings can still involve promotions or ads. YouTube Music Premium also does not guarantee ad-free podcasts: podcast episodes may contain ads or creator-inserted promotions.
