The promotional rollout has sparked widespread conversation online, not least because the socialite had previously taken a step back from music to focus on her faith. Take Me Home, which is set for release on 9 September, marks her first single since she publicly announced her renewed commitment to Christianity.
Her rediscovered spiritual journey had seemingly reshaped her lifestyle, with the star previously insisting she was not ready to revert to her old ways. However, the provocative teasers for the upcoming single have divided opinion, with many critics accusing her of backtracking on her convictions.

Responding to backlash on X, Efia Odo clarified her position on religion and spirituality. She wrote,
I’m not a Christian, please stop giving me that false title, thank you. I don’t know how many times I have to tell you people, but I do not belong to any religion. I and my father are one, meaning that I have aligned myself with God—meaning my true self, my higher self. Religion cannot teach you anything about spirituality
