On January 30th 2022, Samia and her band brought Loving U Thanking U The Tour to Chicago at a sold out Thalia Hall. Opening act Annie DiRusso charmed the crowd with banter in between songs of hers such as "Don't Swerve" and "Dead Dogs".
Between hits from her debut album The Baby such as "Limbo Bitch" "Big Wheel" and "Triptych", Samia captivated the crowd with a radiant energy expressed through dance moves and candid conversations with audience members. Throughout the set, Samia showed gratitude for those in attendance and even played a new song called "Pour Some Sugar" which was received well from the audience. As the night came to a close, Samia ended her set with a cover of "Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs and an encore of "Show Up" from the Scout EP.
