Yttling's best-known songs are Peter Bjorn and John's "Young Folks" (2006) and Lykke Li's "I Follow Rivers" (2011), both of which he co-wrote. Both later reached new audiences through other artists. OneRepublic's "I Ain't Worried" (2022) credits him as a co-writer because of its resemblance to "Young Folks". Drake's "Janice STFU" (2026), built on "I Follow Rivers", gave Yttling his first number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. The same year Yttling Jazz won the Grammis, the Swedish equivalent of the Grammy Awards, for jazz album of the year with Illegal Hit.
