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.

Just Another Night
Icona Pop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another night of being wasted
Staring at your name
Staring at your name
I think you're hanging out somewhere downtown
I wonder who you're dancing with now
Are you doing the same?
Close my eyes and we're still naked
But then I see that my clock is changing
It's just another night
On the other side
Oh woah, oh woah woah
It's just another night
On the other side
On the other side
Hiding underground with the cool kids
I just choose to not wanna choose this
We're living different lives
We're living different lives
There's gonna be a way between us
Tearing down the walls of secrets
It's just another night
On the other side
Oh woah, oh woah woah
It's just another night
On the other side
Oh woah, oh woah woah
It's just another night
On the other side
On the other side
Nothing's gonna keep us hostage
I don't want a thing to stop this tonight
Baby don't you think we lost it
Just come to me, yea
There's gotta be a way between us
Tearing down our walls of secrets
It's just another night
On the other side
The opening lines of the song, "Stepping on the cracks in the pavement, another night of being wasted" sets the scene for a night where the singer is wandering through the streets aimlessly. She is lost in thoughts of her lover, staring at his name and wondering who he is dancing with. The line "Close my eyes and we're still naked, but then I see that my clock is changing" implies that she is reminiscing about a past intimate encounter, but the present reality is harsh and time has moved on. The chorus, "It's just another night on the other side" suggests that this is a routine for her, and she is trying to make sense of her emotions.
The next verse depicts the singer hiding with the cool kids, indicating peer pressure and trying to fit in. The line "We're living different lives" is a realization that they are not meant to be together. However, the singer wants to tear down the walls of secrets and find a way to connect with her lover. The final lines of the song, "There's gotta be a way between us, tearing down our walls of secrets" indicates a willingness to work on the relationship despite the challenges.

On the other side
Maybe on the other side of this pain, there's something better waiting for me.
Hiding underground with the cool kids
I feel like I'm hiding from the world, trying to be accepted by those who seem to have it all figured out.

Baby don't you think we lost it
I'm worried that we've drifted too far apart and that our connection can never be salvaged.
Just come to me, yea
Despite everything, I'm still hoping that you'll reach out to me and that we can reconnect.
It's just another night
Despite the pain and heartache, tonight is just another ordinary night that will eventually pass.
On the other side
Maybe on the other side of this pain, there's something better waiting for me after all.

Oh woah, oh woah woah
It's just another night on the other side
On the other side
Hiding on the ground with the cool kids
I just choose to not wanna choose this
We're living different lives, we're living different lives
There's gonna be a way between us
Tearing down the walls of secrets
It's just another night on the other side
Oh woah, oh woah woah
It's just another night on the other side
Oh woah, oh woah woah
It's just another night on the other side
On the other side

Tearing down our walls of secrets
It's just another night on the other side
