2013-Number 1 single.
Best Bit-At 2.23. It’s Pop, It’s Punk, It’s Electro. It’s Rock ‘N’ Roll, I Love It.
Music producer Patrick Berger sent English singer Charlie XCX two beats to work on, one of them ended up being the song ‘You’re the One,’ which peaked at Number 10 on Billboard in 2012, the other was to become ‘I Love it.’ Charlie XCX didn’t think that the sound of ‘I Love It’ fitted in with the type of music she was recording at that time, so she left the track off her debut Album ‘True Romance.’
The Swedish duo of Icona Pop, Caroline Hjelt, and Aino Jawo, heard Charlie XCX’s version of the song, and recorded it in an ‘Electro Pop’ style, with Charlie XCX providing the vocals, it was produced by Swedish born Johan Eklow, under his stage name of ‘Style of Eye.’ The song has sold 4.3 million copies to date worldwide.
Caroline Hjelt explained the songs meaning,’It’s a song about getting out of a really bad heartbreak, you slowly get on your feet again, and then one day you feel a little bit stronger, and then you realise like, you know what, I deserve better, and you feel kind of empowered again.’
‘You’re on a different road, I’m in the Milky Way, you want me down on earth, but I am up in space.’
