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

IPhone screen cracked, did I pay the bar tab?
Can't remember anything, did I have a good time?
Calling all my new girls, use a couple of new lines
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy
All I got is some blurred-up memories
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy
Cellphone prepaid, we're still eating
Got work to do tomorrow, I'm not sleeping
Treating weekdays like the weekend
We've been treating weekdays like the weekend
Bubble, couple bottles for no reason
Brand new high heels, I'm not sleeping
Treating weekdays like the weekend
We've been treating weekdays like the weekend
We've been treating weekdays like the weekend
We've been treating weekdays like the weekend
One night, two cups, three drinks, no fucks
Didn't cost, so what? Did it all for us?
Can't remember anything, did I have a good time?
Calling all my ex boys, using all my old lines
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy
All I got is some blurred-up memories
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy
Damn
Cellphone prepaid, we're still eating
Got work to do tomorrow, I'm not sleeping
Treating weekdays like the weekend
We've been treating weekdays like the weekend
Bubble, couple bottles for no reason
Brand new high heels, I'm not sleeping
Treating weekdays like the weekend
We've been treating weekdays like the weekend
We've been treating weekdays like the weekend
We've been treating weekdays like the weekend
Cellphone prepaid, we're still eating
Got work to do tomorrow, I'm not sleeping
Treating weekdays like the weekend
We've been treating weekdays like the weekend
Couple, couple bottles for no reason
Brand new high heels, I'm not sleeping
Treating weekdays like the weekend
We've been treating weekdays like the weekend
The song "Weekend" by Icona Pop is an upbeat track about living life to the fullest and treating weekdays like the weekend. The lyrics depict a wild night out with friends, where the singer wakes up with a blurry memory of what they did the night before. They question whether they had a good time and worry about the consequences of their actions, such as a cracked iPhone screen and an unpaid bar tab. Despite these worries, the singer still feels alive and free, using all their old pickup lines and calling all their new girlfriends.
The line "sometimes I'm my own worst enemy" is a common theme in the song, indicating that the singer is aware of their destructive behavior but still chooses to live in the moment. The chorus reinforces the message of treating weekdays like the weekend, with the use of bottles and high heels, indicating that the singer is still living their best life. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the idea of living for the moment and not worrying about the consequences.
Overall, "Weekend" is a fun and lighthearted song that encourages listeners to let loose and enjoy life. It’s a great song to dance to and can be uplifting for those needing a quick pick-me-up.
