SWEET PILL have announced a new album!

Titled Still There’s A Glow, the upcoming album from the Philadelphia/New Jersey-based emo band is their sophomore record, and will be released on March 13th, 2026, via Hopeless Records.

Speaking about the album, vocalist Zayna Youssef shares, “I went through some depression last spring, and then I went into therapy. It was also a big turning point in my life as I was about to turn 30, while I’d written our first record when I was graduating from college – that’s a big change. I could’ve kept making bad choices because they’re easy, but I had to come clean to myself. Half the album was written before and the other half after, so the songs are kind of hard on myself but some are also hopeful, with a light at the end of the tunnel. You put out a fire, there’s still an ember that’s still glowing – that’s the record. It’s about being at a low and climbing out of it.”

Jayce Williams adds, “seeing Zayna change influenced the band – we grew, both as songwriters and as people.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the lead single No Control, accompanied by an official music video directed by Johnny Komar.

Speaking about the new single, Youssef explains, “No Control is the first song we completed for Still There’s A Glow. At that time, I was feeling a bit…indulgent. Taking what I want, whenever I wanted it, and disregarding the world all at the same time. I felt like my self-worth was cheap, and that I had no boundaries as a healthy person. I quite literally had no self-control.

This song is sort of my way to rock bottom. It is my fancy way of calling myself a pushover, unconfident, and ungrateful. I had this ‘grass is always greener’ kind of mentality and wanted more when I already had it and then some.”
