The project was recorded at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago, Illinois at the launch of Morris's 2019 world tour.

Maren Morris first garnered commercial success with the 2016 single "My Church", which became a top ten country song.

In the singles and albums that followed, Morris mixed country music with pop, R&B and rock that helped bring crossover success to her career.

The material included on Maren Morris Live from Chicago was taken from the opening night of her world tour.

[3] "Feeling so nostalgic for shows lately so here’s a few tracks from opening night of GIRL: The World Tour," Morris wrote in a statement.
