You can set a Spotify song as your alarm on an Android device in a few quick steps.
You need to download both Spotify and Google's Clock app for the feature to work.

To set a Spotify song as your alarm on your Android mobile device, you need two separate apps. The first, obviously, is Spotify. The second app — the alarm clock — is Google Clock. You can download it from the Google Play Store if you don't already have it.
