“No Control” by Sweet Pill

Sweet Pill will release their new album Still There’s A Glow March 13, 2026, via Hopeless Records. Ahead of the album’s arrival, the band have shared lead single “No Control.” “This 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,” she explains of “No Control,” out now alongside a Johnny Komar-directed video. “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.” Still There’s A Glow is now available for pre-order.

Sweet Pill has also announced a lengthy 2026 North American tour tour in support of the album, beginning on release day in Pittsburgh, PA, and wrapping up with a hometown Philadelphia show on April 18th. The run also includes a March 20th show at Brooklyn, NY’s Warsaw and an April 2nd show at Los Angeles, CA’s El Rey Theatre. A current itinerary is below.

There’s a Glow is a hard-fought document of self-reflection and growth–raw and real, and stacked with lyrical honesty, and Written and recorded following their 2022 debut LP, Where the Heart Is–and after scrapping essentially an entire album’s worth of demos–Still There’s a Glow is a dynamic, cathartic journey of making conscious change within oneself. “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,” Youssef explains. “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.”

The close-knit group–Youssef, guitarists Jayce Williams and Sean McCall, bassist Ryan Cullen, and drummer Chris Kearney–had been going virtually nonstop since the release of Where the Heart Is (Topshelf). They went on tour with bands including La Dispute and The Wonder Years, embarked on their own headlining run. The band earned co-signs from stars like Hayley Williams and Doja Cat, while continuing to tour nonstop worldwide and play festivals like Best Friends Forever, Riot Fest, and Outbreak.
