The two members, Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo, who grew up in Stockholm, Sweden, wanted to create music "which you can both laugh and cry with at the same time". They signed to TEN Music Group in 2009.

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.

I Love It
Icona Pop Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone
I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn
I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs
I crashed my car into the bridge

I don't care, I love it
I don't care

You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way
You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space
You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch
You're from the '70s, but I'm a '90s bitch

I love it
I love it

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone
I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn
I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs
I crashed my car into the bridge

I don't care, I love it
I don't care, I love it, I love it
I don't care, I love it
I don't care

You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way
You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space
You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch
You're from the '70s, but I'm a '90s bitch

I don't care, I love it
I don't care, I love it, I love it
I don't care, I love it
I don't care, I love it, I love it

I don't care
I love it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Love It" by Icona Pop describe the feeling of liberation and empowerment that comes with letting go of someone who doesn't appreciate or understand you. The singer sings about crashing her car into a bridge and letting it burn, symbolizing her desire to destroy all reminders of the relationship. She then packs her ex's belongings in a bag and throws them down the stairs, further emphasizing her anger and determination to move on. Despite the destruction, the singer feels no remorse for her actions, as she proudly declares, "I don't care, I love it."

The chorus of the song repeats this phrase, with the singer expressing her love for the freedom and independence she has gained by ending the toxic relationship. She sings about being on a different path than her ex, likening her journey to the Milky Way while they are stuck on Earth. The singer also confronts her ex's unrealistic expectations and demands, stating that they need to "kill this switch" to find a way to move forward. Finally, she embraces her own identity as a "90s bitch," confident in her own sense of style and attitude.

Line by Line Meaning

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone
I felt a certain way on a summer day when you weren't around

I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn
I purposely drove my car into the bridge and watched it burn without any care

I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs
I packed up all your belongings and tossed them down the stairs without any hesitation

I don't care, I love it
I don't care about the consequences, I love what I did

You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way
You are headed in a different direction while I am exploring the universe

You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space
You want me to come back down to reality, but I am still lost in space

You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch
You're impossible to satisfy, we need to end this relationship

You're from the '70s, but I'm a '90s bitch
You have an outdated mindset, while I have a bold and modern attitude

I love it
I love the way I am living my life and I don't care what others think
