About this Song
Icona Pop, a Swedish synth-pop duo formed in 2009 by Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt in Stockholm, crafts music that blends electro house, indie pop, and dance-pop. The duo signed with TEN Music Group in 2009, also securing a label deal with Ultra Music. The Swedish press has characterized their sound as something "you can both laugh and cry to at the same time," a sentiment echoed by English-language publications like NME, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and Pitchfork Media. The Guardian notably described their debut single "Manners" as "effortlessly cool." Their 2012 release, "I Love It," became their most significant hit, achieving global success with 5x Platinum certification, over 10 million copies sold, and surpassing 1 billion global streams. Their debut album, *Icona Pop*, was released in Sweden in 2012, followed by the international release *This Is... Icona Pop* in 2013. This international album garnered generally positive reviews and peaked at number 36 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart.
