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.

Then We Kiss
Icona Pop Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daylight to nighttime to sunrise
Through your eyes, through my eyes
To your lips then my lips to your hips
Then our hips are moving in time

[Chorus]
Then we kiss!
Then we kiss!

Skyline, your moonlight
The sky boys we kick down
Police cars and sirens are breaking the silence
And two hearts with fire inside

[Chorus]
Then we kiss!
Then we kiss!

Hope that’s the way to go
How the fuck should I know
Stop here, this is wait
Oh no, you have to pay
Down down down the hill
Tripped over, took er still
Lights out, go and clap
We can be here on top
No baby, don’t stop
Let’s go get her
Stay here forever
Then we kiss!

Palm trees, a new day
Sunrise is something
That girl, the same place,
Looking for you as always
A tap on the shoulder
It’s you

[Chorus]
Then we kiss!
Then we kiss!
Then we kiss!
(All I wanna do is have a good time)
Then we kiss!

(All I wanna do is have a good time)
Then we kiss!

Daylight to nighttime to sunrise
We are spending the whole night together, from day to night till sunrise

Through your eyes, through my eyes
We're seeing the world through each other's eyes to understand each other better

To your lips then my lips to your hips
Our connection is growing stronger as we move closer, from kissing to holding each other's hips

Then our hips are moving in time
Our love is in sync as the passion between us grows stronger

Skyline, your moonlight
As a metaphor for your love, it illuminates the skyline and everything in sight

The sky boys we kick down
We’re so in love, that we can conquer anything that stands in our way, including the sky

Police cars and sirens are breaking the silence
Even though outside forces may try to come between us, our love is stronger and can withstand anything

Then two hearts with fire inside
Our love has set our hearts on fire, and we cannot resist each other anymore

Hope that’s the way to go
We don't know what lies in our future, but we're willing to take a chance on love

How the fuck should I know
We don't have all the answers, but we're willing to figure it out together

Stop here, this is wait
We're enjoying the moment and not rushing into anything

Oh no, you have to pay
There may be consequences for our actions, but we're willing to face them together

Down down down the hill
Our passion is unstoppable and going downhill fast

Tripped over, took er still
Even when we fall, we know that we'll get up and keep going, together

Lights out, go and clap

Our love will lead us to victory, no matter the obstacles that stand in our way

Stay here forever
We want this moment and this love to last forever

Palm trees, a new day
The start of a new chapter in our love story, with new beginnings

Sunrise is something
The sunrise represents a new start, a new day with endless possibilities

That girl, the same place, Looking for you as always
You are my destiny and my soulmate, and I'll always be searching for you

A tap on the shoulder, It’s you
Our love is so strong, that even a tap on the shoulder brings us back together

Then we kiss!
All of our love and passion culminates in a kiss that expresses everything we cannot say with words.
