Icona Pop became a global sensation following the release of their 2012 single “I love it” featuring Charli XCX. Now the duo return with their new single “Brightside”.
The track, written by the girls along with Joni Fatora, Frederic Kennett and Mr.Rogers, is a catchy song about friendship.
In the karaoke-style video directed by Christine Yuan, Hjelt and Jawo have a mirror-filled Chinese restaurant all to themselves. They hit the bar, dance through the dining room, and chill out in the dark by the light of an aquarium.
Icona Pop will perform at the forthcoming Nobel Peace Prize Concert awarding Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos for his resolute efforts to bring the country´s more than 50-year-long civil war to an end. The concert takes place at Telenor Arena in Oslo, Norway on December 11th, alongside performances from Sting, Halsey and host Conan O’ Brien.
Lyrics:
I wear a smile, you ride the frown
Always do my best to get you upside down
When you’re throwing shade, I rearrange the clouds
Got my head up but we’re going south
I will be the rose to tint your glass
Spray paint the lawn to get a greener grass
I’ll be your brightside then ’cause all I wanna do is make you feel a little better
I’ll be your cheerleader with no allowance, baby I’ll be on the bleachers
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside
To show you your brightside
If the nightmares come, I’ll wake you up
I’ll give you Lucky Charms and a sunny-side-up
When your streak runs out, I’ll win you more
I’ll be your four-leaf clover and a unicorn
I will be the rose to tint your glass
Spray paint the lawn to get a greener grass
I’ll be your brightside then ’cause all I wanna do is make you feel a little better
I’ll be your cheerleader with no allowance, baby I’ll be on the bleachers
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside
To show you your brightside
When I’m down here
It can only get better
See it all clear
Well at least we’re together
Laying under the stars
Thinking ’bout who that we are
Claiming ’bout all that we are gonna be
Laying under the stars
I know that it’s dark
But let me show you the brightside
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside
Get up, get up tonight
I will be the one to show you your brightside
To show you your brightside
