Closed On a Sunday, You're My Chick-fil-A

About

Closed On Sunday, You're My Chick-fil-A is a lyric from Kanye West's ninth studio album, Jesus Is King. The lyric was heavily mocked for the metaphor, both because of its awkwardness and the fact that Chick-fil-A, a fast-food restaurant that is closed on Sundays because of founder's Truett Cathy's Christian faith, has been vocally anti-LGBTQ in the past.

Origin

Jesus Is King released October 25th, 2019. On the song "Closed on Sunday," Kanye West sings the line "Closed on Sunday / you're my Chick-fil-A / You're my number 1 / with the lemonade."
