ell, folks, the proverbial sun is setting over our seven-week-long party with Icona Pop. But, before the hangover kicks in, let's throw one final banger to really bring it home.

Queue New York City and Miley Cyrus. Those two entities are wild enough on their own, but together they're a force of nature. And, when Icona Pop joins the mix, well, you better be ready for a late night/very early morning.

It's been one helluvah ride, but then again, the pop star life isn't all glitz and glamour. Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo face the daily grind like anyone else — sometimes grinding well into the early hours of the morning. Their office just so happens to be the stage, and their work attire is shinier than your typical power suit. But, they know how to let it all hang out when the time's right.

Work hard, play harder. Once you've mastered that motto, the world is yours for the taking.

01:59They're both singers. They're both producers. They're both DJs.
02:04So when they get together, it's like this new hybrid that hasn't been charted before.
02:08They're a power duo.
02:10Whatever happens next, they're at the forefront. They're already with it.
02:14And they can do whatever they want.
02:16They say you're a freak when we're having fun.
02:20Say you must be high when we're spreading love.

03:07It's amazing.
03:09They're totally working an entire arena on a nightly basis.
03:13When it's a good show, you get very excited.
03:16Because you work so hard for it, you know?
03:18You work every day to make that happen.
03:22Being on tour with Miley Cyrus and seeing all the fans, you know, they're huge.
03:27But it's always comparing to us.
03:30In Sweden they've been the biggest band for a long time.
03:34It still feels like we're in, like when we met.
03:39We're still just two best friends hanging out.
03:43Which is pretty cool after everything that we've been through.
03:47And still see us like that, you know?
03:58We will always be those girls in that apartment, in your sofa.
04:04And I think that's also the beauty with that kind of pop.
04:15You're always craving for more and more and more.
04:19And you're proud of the things you've succeeded so far, but you're still aiming for something bigger.
04:27Our dream is to go on our own World Arena tour.
04:32And then that we're gonna be able to do this as long as we want to.
04:40We'll be able to do this as long as we want to do.
04:41They say you're a freak when we're having fun.
