Samia’s cover of Liz Phair’s “Never Said” was released in September 2019. Phair originally told Rolling Stone that the song was an analysis of the music scene:
[This was] just kind of like about the music scene and how catty it was. People were always getting upset about something that someone had...
[Chorus]
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
[Verse 1]
I don't know where you heard it
Don't know who's spreadin' it 'round
All I know is I'm clean as a whistle, baby
I didn't utter a sound
[Chorus]
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
[Verse 2]
I don't know what they told you
Don't even care what about
All I know is I'm clean as a whistle, baby
I didn't let the cat out
[Verse 3]
So don't look at me sideways
Don't even look me straight on
And don't look at my hands in my pockets, baby
I ain't done anything wrong
[Chorus]
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
No, not to anyone
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
No, not to anyone
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
Never Said was written by Liz Phair.
Never Said was produced by Quinn McGovern.

Samia talked to Northern Transmissions about her journey with Liz Phair’s music:
I had the distinct privilege of meeting John Mellencamp when I was 14 and played him a few of my songs. He goes, ‘Liz Phair. You’re gonna be like Liz Phair.’ Listened to her music pretty exclusively for a few years aft...
Samia told Northern Transmissions:
I was hanging out with my friends Fred and Lucas last month and we were filming ourselves doing ridiculous characters…I played them the “Never Said” cover and this sort of just happened. We sent it over to Nick who sprinkled magic on it and voila!
