"'''Bounce'''" is a song by German singer–songwriter [[Sarah Connor (singer)|Sarah Connor]] from her second studio album, ''[[Unbelievable (Sarah Connor album)|Unbelievable]]'' (2002). Written by Bülent Aris, Toni Cottura, and Anthony Freeman, it was released as the album's fourth and final [[single (music)|single]], as well as the [[lead single]] from her self-titled U.S. debut album, ''[[Sarah Connor (album)|Sarah Connor]]'' (2004). The track [[sampling (music)|samples]] [[Mary J. Blige]]'s 2001 song "[[Family Affair (Mary J. Blige song)|Family Affair]]" and features a guest rap by rapper Mr. Freeman (sometimes incorrectly credited as [[Wyclef Jean]], who appears on Connor's song "[[One Nite Stand (Of Wolves and Sheep)]]").

"Bounce" was originally released in Germany on 21 July 2003. Despite being one of her best-performing singles (and one of her [[signature song]]s), Connor was pregnant at the time and unable to promote. The song peaked at number twelve on the [[Media Control Charts|German Singles Chart]] and was Germany's sixth-eighth best-selling single of 2003.

In winter 2004 radio programmer Tod Tucker at [[KHTT|106.9 K-HITS]] in [[Tulsa, Oklahoma|Tulsa]], [[Oklahoma]] took hold of a copy of the single and began to give it airplay. Due to large amounts of airplay in the United States, the song reached number eleven on ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]''{{'}}s [[Pop Songs|Top 40 Mainstream]] and number twenty-one on [[Top 40 Tracks]] charts, eventually charting on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] at number fifty-four. "Bounce" was officially given a physical release in the U.S. on 4 May 2004, serving as Connor's debut single there.

A [[Sarah Connor (album)|self-titled compilation album]] to follow "Bounce"'s success was released in the U.S. on 9 March 2004; however, it performed poorly, only reaching number one hundred and six on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]]. By the time "Bounce" received airplay in the U.S., Connor was heavily pregnant with her first son Tyler. The self-titled album was released a week after her son was born, and Connor was unable to do any promotion. She has not tried to release in the U.S. since, though rumor has it her seventh album may be released there.

In Australia "Bounce" peaked at number fourteen on the [[ARIA Charts|ARIA Singles Chart]] and was ultimately certified gold by the [[Australian Recording Industry Association]].
