Today, the Philadelphia DIY-ers Sweet Pill shared their new single "Slow Burn". The track appears on their upcoming album Still There's A Glow, out March 13 via Hopeless Records.

"Slow Burn" comes with an accompanying music video, directed and edited by OD Blank. Watch/listen to the new single below:

On the new single, singer Zayna Youssef aimed to explore anxiety and overthinking, relying on concrete images to express her feelings, per a press release. In the lyrics, she compares it to a cigarette. "Every slow drag fills you up with literal death, but the exhale feels so good — the irony of how something that feels good is so bad for you," she says. "There are countless things in my life I take a deeeep, slow drag from that really don’t benefit me, these habits have a short term satisfaction but the long term effect can be just one big slowburn."

The music video takes on a different angle, embodying anxiety as a surveillance camera constantly recording. She describes it as "a snapshot into the mind of someone who overthinks to the point of ‘seeing things’ that may not even be there."

"Whether I am battling confidence or bad habits," she adds, "overthinking can be so habitual. It kind of traps you in this circular purgatory which you find me running in and out of."

Sweet Pill's tour begins on March 13, the day of Still There's A Glow's release. Tickets are available now.
