Time to Be King is the fourth studio album by the multinational power metal band Masterplan.

Lead singer Jørn Lande had a major contribution to the songwriting, he wrote some of the music and all the lyrics for the songs.

Also keyboardist Axel Mackenrott took part as one of the main songwriters and brought the ideas for songs like Time to Be King and Blue Europa.

Roland Grapow said Axel is now "totally filling the shoes of Uli (Kusch) and he has a very familiar style of writing that I love so much and it’s very important for the band.

This resulted in the departure of bass player Jan S. Eckert, drummer Mike Terrana and once again singer Jørn Lande from the band.
