On March 7, 2017, Mom Jeans released a split EP with the Fresno-based band Graduating Life. It was during this period that Bart Thompson of Graduating Life and Meet Me in Montauk fame would become a guitarist for the band.
On October 6, 2017, Counter Intuitive Records released a split EP titled NOW That's What I Call Music Vol. 420, featuring music from Mom Jeans as well as the bands Pictures of Vernon and Prince Daddy & The Hyena.[1][2]
Also in October 2017, the band announced they had signed with SideOneDummy Records, and had plans to release their second album through the label in 2018. However, in a reddit post, Eric Butler confirmed that they would no longer be working with the label and instead continue to work with Counter Intuitive Records to release their second album.
The band's second full-length album, titled Puppy Love, was released on July 3, 2018 with Counter Intuitive Records, as well as a limited independent label run of the record and a select variant being put out by UK based label Big Scary Monsters.
In early 2019 the band began recording demos for a new LP as well as naming the album, which will be titled Sweet Tooth., following the departure of Gabriel Paganin. In fall of 2019 it was announced the band would be touring with Hobo Johnson, featuring guest bassist Billy Bouzos (owner of the Oakland-based indie label Slang Church) filling in for Sam Kless.

I never thought I'd see the day where we wouldn't get long
You think I smoke too much
I think your friends all suck
Can't figure out the reason why our parents fight so much
And I've given up on luck
But I'm happy here
I'm happy here
I'll put your bag under the stairs
Don't go back to our old place it's probably locked up anyway
I bet it still looks looks the same as when I ran away that day
It doesn't matter anyway
Cause I'm happy here
Yes I'm happy here
I'm happy here
I'm happy here

In Mom Jeans.'s song Scott Pilgrim V. My Gpa, the singer reflects on a past relationship with a lover, possibly a significant other, and the difficulties they encountered. The singer seems unsure about where their relationship went wrong and is devastated by the separation. The couple disagreed on a few things, with the singer thinking that the lover's friends were terrible and the lover thinking that the singer smoked too much. The singer indicates that the parents of the lover fought a great deal, and for some reason, the singer has given up on luck, which may have been related to the collapse of their relationship.
Despite the devastation that the singer feels about the breakup, they appear content in their current position, suggesting that they have moved on, and have come to terms with the relationship's end. The singer insists that the lover leaves, leaving behind a sweater that he will put on the front porch and their bag under the stairs. As the lover departs, they are warned not to go back to their old place because it's likely closed up, and it seems things haven't changed since the last time the singer ran away.
In the last verse, the singer describes their newfound ability to sleep soundly, indicating that the relationship's end has not only allowed them to be at peace with themselves but also sleep better.
Overall, the song is about reflecting on relationships and moving on from them, even if we don't entirely understand what went wrong. The singer appears to have come to terms with the relationship's end, and in doing so, they have found happiness, as the chorus repeats 'I'm happy here.'
