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.

Wanna B with Somebody
Icona Pop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Better evacuate
Find a place, a place to call my own
Don't wanna renovate
Trouble at my door, then it's you knocking
Trouble at my door, then it's you knocking
Trouble at my door, better start packing, packing...
I wanna be with somebody
I wanna be with somebody
Other than you
Other than you
I wanna fuck with somebody
I wanna fuck with somebody
Other than you
Other than you
Been around the block too many times
Wanna see something new
Cause I can't see myself in your designs
I'm changing my point of view
Wanna see fresh, I wanna see shocking
Wanna see fresh, I wanna see shocking
Wanna see fresh, baby you're a-blocking, blocking...
I wanna be with somebody
I wanna be with somebody
Other than you
Other than you
I wanna fuck with somebody
I wanna fuck with somebody
Other than you
Other than you
Cause you been really boring
And it's getting kinda awkward
So I'm cleaning up my closet
Yeah I'm taking out the garbage
Cause I need a little head space
And I need a little bed space
Can't be carrying your dead weight
I been looking far away
I wanna be with somebody
I wanna be with somebody
Other than you
Other than you
I wanna fuck with somebody
I wanna fuck with somebody
Other than you
Other than you
The lyrics of this song suggest that the singer, who is in a relationship, is looking to be with someone else. The singer feels that they cannot turn their current relationship into a comfortable and welcoming space, and wants to ‘evacuate’ from the relationship. They are looking for a ‘place to call their own’, and they do not want to have to ‘renovate’ their current relationship to make it work.
The verse then goes on to explain that the singer has grown tired of the same old routine and wants to experience something new. They feel that they have been around the block ‘too many times’, and want to see something new. They cannot see themselves in the current relationship designs anymore and want to ‘change my point of view’. The chorus then repeats twice, emphasizing that the singer wants to be with or have sex with someone else ‘other than you’.
The second verse of the song mentions that the singer finds their current partner boring and that the relationship is becoming more and more awkward. The singer wants to clean up their life by taking out the ‘garbage’ and wants to have some ‘headspace’ and ‘bedspace’ for themselves. They are tired of carrying their partner’s ‘dead weight’ and want to look for something better, far away from what they have now.
