This song was Icona Pop and Charli XCX’s breakout song and first hit in the US. Charli wrote this song and contributed vocals to the track. Icona Pop’s producer Patrik Berger (the Swedish producer behind Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own”) was in the studio with them recording their song “Good For You” when he first played them Charli’s demo. They immediately fell in love. Icona Pop’s Caroline Hjelt remembered in an interview with CMJ:

It was her singing over a cute beat. And we were like, ‘Wait, wait, wait, wait. What’s that?’ We were going through some love drama, and we could really relate to the lyric…We took it to Style Of Eye and told him, ‘This is the feeling that we want on it. We want the punkiness. We want the ‘fuck it’ feeling. We want everything that we felt when we were singing it.’ So it came out totally different.

The song was a huge success for singer Charli XCX who would later go on to feature on another chart topping song, “Fancy” with rapper Iggy Azalea.

I Love It by Icona Pop was released May 6th, 2012. It gained prominence when it was featured in the “cocaine dance club” scene on the HBO show Girls.
