In March 2022, the group announced their upcoming debut album while releasing its first single, "Blood".[7] Sweet Pill released a second single from the album, "High Hopes", on April 6.[8] The band released the third single from the album, "Diamond Eyes", a few weeks prior to the album's release.[9] The album, Where the Heart Is, was released on May 25, 2022.[10]
Between September and October 2022, Sweet Pill opened for post-hardcore band La Dispute on their US and Canada tour.[11]
