In late 2010, their song "Manners" was featured on Kitsuné Maison Compilation 10. "Manners" was later released as their debut single in 2011. It managed to peak at number 15 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. "Manners" was followed that year by their debut EP Nights Like This. They released their second EP the year after, titled Iconic EP. The 2012 EP included their hit single "I Love It". The song was written by Patrik Berger, Linus Eklöw and Charlotte Aitchison (Charli XCX). The latter was also featured on the song, singing along with Icona Pop during the chorus. The duo's self titled debut album was released later that year. "I Love It" went to become one of the biggest hits by a Swedish artist since Roxette, with the song peaking at number 7 on the US Hot 100.
In 2013, the duo's international debut album was released.
Singles "We Got The World" and "Girlfriend" did not match up with the success of their predecessor, however the single "All Night" managed to get a gold certification in Canada and topped the US Dance chart. The last single from their debut era, "Just Another Night", only charted on the US Dance chart.
In 2014 Icona Pop toured heavily. They were opening acts for both Miley Cyrus' Bangerz tour and Katy Perry's Prismatic tour. During the year, they also released a new single, "Get Lost". It had more teen pop and country influences compared to their previously EDM inspired music. It did not became as big hit internationally as previous singles, though it became their first single since "Girlfriend" to chart on the Swedish singles chart, peaking at number 58 ("Girlfriend" peaked at number 57).
The single "Emergency" was released during the summer of 2015 and went to become their second biggest hit in their home country: it recieved a platinum certification in Sweden, even though it's peak position on the Swedish chart only was at number 19. Later, an EP was released called Emergency EP, which included the single of the same name and two new tracks. To promote the EP in the US and Canada, the duo were the opening act for One Directions on the North American leg of their On the Road Again tour.
Icona Pop premiered a new song on the Grammis Awards show called "Someone Who Can Dance". Swedish singer Zara Larsson sang the second verse whereas another Swedish artist, Elliphant, sang a new verse after the second chorus. However, the single version of the song excludes the featured artists.

Icona Pop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You better know someone, then find someone of our friends
You wanna get higher? Shake that ass
Spinning 'round and 'round, and 'round and 'round like that
I put a little twist in my hips (Here we go)
Kiss on my lips (Here we go)
Ice on my wrist 'cause I'm hot and I'm dancing (Here we go)
Cancel your plans and (Here we go)
Girls hide your mans, 'cause I'm hot and I'm dancing (Here we go)
This is emergency (Wooh ooh ooh)
Call an ambulance, come rescue me (Wooh ooh ooh)
Everybody in this bitch (Wooh ooh ooh)
If you wanna get up, get down like this
Hallelujah, oh mercy me
Confess your sins and get down on your knees
And I'll be good to you if you're good to me
And we can go on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
I put a little twist in my hips (Here we go)
Kiss on my lips (Here we go)
Ice on my wrist 'cause I'm hot and I'm dancing (Here we go)
Caught that romancin' (Here we go)
Cancel your plans and (Here we go)
Girls hide your mans, 'cause I'm hot and I'm dancing (Here we go)
This is emergency (Wooh ooh ooh)
Call an ambulance, come rescue me (Wooh ooh ooh)
Everybody in this bitch (Wooh ooh ooh)
If you wanna get up, get down like this
This is emergency
Call an ambulance, come rescue me
Everybody in this bitch
If you wanna get up, get down like this
The lyrics to Icona Pop's song "Emergency" speak about the desire to party and dance the night away. The verses warn that only those who know someone or are friends with someone will be able to join in the festivities, and those who want to get higher should shake their ass. The chorus repeats the title of the song, declaring it to be an emergency and urging listeners to call an ambulance to come rescue them. The overall vibe of the song is celebratory and empowering, with the lyrics encouraging listeners to let loose and have a good time.
The lyric "Cancel your plans and girls hide your mans, 'cause I'm hot and I'm dancing" is particularly notable for its feminist undertones. The line suggests that women should not feel guilty or ashamed for prioritizing their own enjoyment over their partners or other obligations. Instead, they should feel confident and empowered to let loose and have a good time.
In addition to its feminist themes, "Emergency" has a catchy beat and a memorable melody. The song was a commercial success, reaching the top 20 in several European countries and charting on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart in the United States. The song's high-energy music video features appearances from several drag queens, further emphasizing its message of diversity and inclusivity.
