How to Link Spotify with Google Clock + Use Any Song As Your Alarm

Want to set a specific song as your alarm on Android? With a new update to the Google Clock app for Android, you can link your Spotify account to use any song as your alarm clock. We'll show you how to set it up!

To begin, make sure you’ve updated both the Spotify app and Google Clock to the newest versions. Once you’ve updated both apps, open the Google Clock app. Then tap Alarm at the top. Choose an existing alarm, or tap Add to make a new one. Set the alarm time. Then tap the downwards arrow below the alarm time. Tap the name of the sound that’s currently being used for that alarm. On the Alarm Sound page, tap Spotify. You will be prompted to connect your Spotify account. Tap Connect at the bottom. To agree to the terms of use, tap Okay.

Now, choose from your recently played & selected songs, or choose from Spotify’s selection of morning-themed playlists sorted by category, like “Rise & Shine,” “Lazy Mornings,” or “Morning Workout.” You can also tap the search button and search for any artist, album, or playlist. If you have Spotify premium, you can select a specific song for your alarm. If you have a free Spotify account, you can select a playlist or album, but you won’t be able to select individual tracks. Tap the music you want to use as your alarm to select it. Then tap the arrow in the top left corner to go back. Your selection will automatically be saved.

When your alarm goes off, the Google Clock app will use the album artwork of the song you’ve chosen as a background on your screen, and the song information will be listed at the bottom of your screen. After you dismiss the alarm, you’ll have the option to keep listening to the music if you want to keep playing it as you start your morning.
