context_page_description: "Closed on Sunday" is a song by American rapper Kanye West from his ninth studio album, Jesus Is King. The song was produced by West, Angel Lopez, Brian "AllDay" Miller, Federico Vindver, and Timbaland. It was co-written by the producers with No Malice, Rennard East, Pusha T and Victory Elyse Boyd, and since the song samples work by Grupo Vocal Argentino, a songwriting credit was added for Chango Farías Gómez. On November 28, 2019, the song was released by West's record labels GOOD Music and Def Jam as the second single from the album. A hip hop song, it is based around a sample of "Martín Fierro", performed by Grupo Vocal Argentino.
  The song's lyrics see West emphasizing Sunday Sabbatarianism, alongside him referencing the closure of Chick-fil-A on the Lord's Day. Since being released, "Closed on Sunday" has received generally negative reviews from music critics. They often criticized the lyrical content, mostly placing focus on the referencing of Chick-fil-A. It reached number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100, while also attained top 20 positions in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Latvia, and the United Kingdom.
context_section_description: An accompanying music video was directed by Jake Schreier and filmed on West's ranch in Cody, Wyoming. Prior to filming it in Cody, West had shot the video for previous Jesus Is King single "Follow God" in the city, which was released in November 2019. On November 27, 2019, West announced the world premiere of the music video for the following day and followed through with the proposed release date, coinciding with the year's date of Thanksgiving in the United States. The clip stands as West's second video to feature Kardashian, following on from "Bound 2" (2013). Before Kanye's father Ray West appeared in it, he had made a cameo in the visual for "Follow God".
  The music video is dimly lit and centered around family, beginning with Kanye and Kardashian cuddling with their children; North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm West, who are sleeping. Kardashian also has her eyes closed and Kanye West appears to be keeping watch, with the couple and their children being sat in the cleft of a rock formation, which is on a hill. The family members then walk hand-in-hand across a stone plateau, as the first verse of "Closed on Sunday" plays in the background. In the following scene, other members of the Kardashian-West family and members of the Sunday Service Choir both arrive in a convoy of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). Kanye's mother-in-law Kris Jenner steps out of an army tank wearing a fur coat, leather gloves and diamond earrings, joining a large group of the extended family that wears Carhartts, including Ray. The camera then zooms out to a shot of a group that shows Kanye's sister-in-law Kourtney Kardashian and her children Mason Dash, Penelope Scotland and Reign Aston, front and centre, accompanied by the West children, their mother, and Jenner. Kanye West later stands alone on a rocky outcrop in the video before dropping to his knees, bowing his head, and raising his hand while the line "I pray to God that he'll strengthen my hand" is heard. West is surrounded by the Sunday Service Choir, with them doing this while he stands on the higher ground, and the group sing the last lyrics of the song. The music video concludes with a close-up shot of North West screaming "Chick-fil-A," differentiating from the original version of the song where the line is performed by her father.
