Sweet Pill Announces New Album: Still There’s A Glow
Album Details
Sweet Pill is gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated second album, Still There’s A Glow, scheduled to drop on March 13, 2026, via Hopeless Records. This album follows their debut, Where The Heart Is, which was released in 2022.
Personal Journey and Creative Process
Vocalist Zayna Youssef shared insights into the album’s creation, revealing that her personal experiences significantly influenced the music. “I went through some depression last spring, and then I went into therapy,” she explained. “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.” This transformative period encouraged her to confront difficult truths about herself.
Contrasting Themes
Youssef noted that the album features a blend of darker themes and moments of hope. “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,” she said. “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.”
New Single: No Control
In conjunction with the album announcement, Sweet Pill has released a new single titled “No Control.” Zayna describes this track as a reflection of her struggles during a challenging phase of her life. “This is the first song we completed for Still There’s A Glow,” she shared. “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.”
A Raw Reflection
In “No Control,” Youssef candidly addresses her feelings of self-worth and boundaries. “I quite literally had no self-control,” she admitted. “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.”

Fans can now watch the music video for “No Control,” which visually captures the essence of the song and the emotions Youssef experienced during its creation.
Conclusion
With Still There’s A Glow, Sweet Pill is set to deliver a deeply personal and dynamic album that resonates with their growth as artists and individuals. The combination of vulnerability and resilience showcased in their music promises to engage listeners and provide a sense of connection through shared experiences.
