The brass at Chick-fil-A may have a new track to listen to while they remain Closed On Sunday.
Kanye West gave the chicken chain a huge shoutout on his latest album, "Jesus Is King," in a track dedicated to the restaurant closing their stores on Sundays.
"Closed on Sunday, you my Chick-fil-A / Hold the selfies, put the 'Gram away / Get your family, y'all hold hands and pray"
"Closed on Sunday, you my Chick-fil-A / You're my number one, with the lemonade."
The Blast reached out to Chick-fil-A to see how they feel about the plug, which is the 4th song on Kanye's album.
A rep for the company said, "We are always grateful to see excitement for the brand."
The dedication to Chick-fil-A is definitely one of the most talked-about lyrics on Kanye's album, and it wasn't long before the memes started rolling in.
Taking to Twitter, fans couldn't help but joke about Kanye's apparent love for the delicious chicken sandwich.

Even though corporate is low key about the celebration, others thought Chick-fil-A franchise owners were raising the roof over the press.

The #1 at Chick-fil-A is a simple chicken sandwich with fries and a drink for $6.75.
He could've opted for the #2 Spicy Deluxe, but Kanye kept it mild.
Many fans applauded Ye on the choice.

Chick-fil-A's competitors are taking advantage of the reminder that the chain shuts down on Sundays.
Burger King reminded everyone that they are ready to serve up Whoppers any day of the week.
