Context

This line is spoken by Dorothy, played by Judy Garland, in the film The Wizard of Oz, directed by Victor Fleming et al. (1939).

At the end of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy has defeated the Wicked Witch of the West and revealed the true nature of Oz, and now she's ready to go back to Kansas.

Glinda the good witch instructs her to click her fashionable ruby heels together (they're the natural ancestor of Louboutins) and think to herself, "There's no place like home." Dorothy must have missed the whole think to yourself part because she says it aloud a few times before waking up back in Kansas, as though she never left at all.

Where you've heard it

This one's basically the anthem of anyone who's feeling homesick. Unfortunately, saying it over and over probably won't get them home. Get yourself an Uber, dude.
