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.
