Take Me to the King is best known as the 2012 gospel hit performed by Tamela Mann and written by Kirk Franklin for her album Best Days. The song became a staple in Black church worship and gospel radio, praised for its message of bringing your burdens to Jesus when you have nothing left to offer. Short excerpts later spread on TikTok and other short video platforms, where creators reuse the chorus for testimonies, baptisms, and emotional faith content, keeping the song active well beyond its original release.
