Earlier, we wrote about how to set your favorite song as alarm clock on iOS and you saw how easy and intuitive it was. But now we’ll be showing you how to set the alarm song on any Android device including Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4 and other smartphones.

2. Launch the built-in Clock app. 
3. Make sure you’re in Alarm tab and then tap Create alarm. 
4. Set the time of the alarm and other settings, and then head over to the Alarm tone field. Note that this is only available when the Alarm type is set on either Melody or Vibrate and Melody. 
5. At this step you’ll be prompted to select a sound from the built-in ones or to choose a custom song by selecting Go to my files. 
6. Navigate through your files and find your desired song for your alarm.
7. Save the alarm.
