How we built it

I use Shortcut app to

1. Go to Shortcuts
2. Click at the bottom middle tab 'Automation'. If you haven't created any Automation, select 'Create Personal Automation'.
3. Select 'Time of Day'
4. Choose any time period you want the task to begin perform, then click Next
5. An action—the building block of a shortcut—is a single step in a task. Select "Add Action"
6. Select Media ==> scroll down to "Play Music". Click on blue word 'Music' to select the song. Then click 'Next'
7. Add one more action which is "Tweet", type the message you want to tweet

At a specific time, the task will remind me by playing music and ask me to tweet the message
