I Love It

Overview:
"I Love It" is not an album by Icona Pop but their breakthrough single (credited as Icona Pop featuring Charli XCX) first released in Sweden on May 9, 2012. The two‑and‑a‑half minute shout‑along anthem became the duo’s signature song and the centerpiece of their early EPs and the international album This Is... Icona Pop.

Recording History:
The track was written by Charli XCX (Charlotte Aitchison) with producers Patrik Berger and Linus “Style of Eye” Eklöw and recorded in 2011; production credits go to Patrik Berger and Style of Eye. Public sources list the year and personnel but do not publish detailed daily session logs or a specific commercial studio address for those sessions, so exact studio dates/rooms are not publicly documented.

Chart Performance & Recognition:
After a slow burn, "I Love It" reached No. 2 in Sweden and later became a global hit—peaking at No. 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and hitting No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in June 2013. The single received multi‑platinum certification in the US (RIAA figures reported via chart histories) and appeared on several year‑end best‑of lists from outlets such as Pitchfork and Rolling Stone.

Cultural Impact & Legacy:
Critics framed the song as a maximalist, feminist‑tinged pop anthem; it propelled Icona Pop into mainstream festivals, TV syncs (e.g., Girls, reality shows) and late‑night TV performances. It’s widely covered and sampled, and today remains a staple “party breakup” anthem and a defining early‑2010s pop moment. Because the user asked about an "album" titled I Love It, note again: the title refers to the single (and related EP releases/placements on Icona Pop albums), not a standalone studio album.
