Interesting facts and trivia about I Love It (feat. Charli XCX). By Songfacts®.

Icona Pop are a Swedish synthpop duo comprising Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt. They first attracted attention when their debut single "Manners" was sampled by the American indie hip-hop twosome Chiddy Bang for their song "Mind Your Manners". A year later they released this song, which became a breakthrough hit for the pair, reaching the top 10 in numerous countries.

British singer-songwriter Charli XCX co-wrote and features on this song. "We were home writing with our friend Patrik Berger, and he played us this track he wrote together with Charli XCX, who we had met in London a couple of times," recalled Jawo to Billboard magazine. "And we were like, 'Rewind. We want to do that song,' and asked if we could do it our way."

On the face of it the song is a celebration of a champagne-swilling lifestyle, but at the time the Icona Pop duo were both broke and heartbroken, which is reflected in their adaptation's stomping beats and angry lyrics. "The song was written at a time when we were in living in London and didn't have anything," explained Jawo to Billboard. "We didn't even have a real bed to sleep in when we sang that song. I think you can hear our frustration and anger, plus the heartache. It's a very honest song for us."
