"Bounce" is a song by German recording artist Sarah Connor, taken from her second studio album, Unbelievable (2002). Written by Bülent Aris, Toni Cottura, and Anthony Freeman, with production helmed by the former, the song samples Mary J. Blige's 2001 song "Family Affair", while featuring guest vocals by Wyclef Jean. "Bounce" was originally released as the album's fourth and final single in Central Europe on 21 July 2003, amid Connor's first pregnancy. It reached the top 20 in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

In the United States, radio programmers at 106.9 K-HITS in Tulsa, Oklahoma, received an import copy of the single and gave it airplay, which cued Epic Records to promote the song nationwide.[1] The song subsequently reached number 11 on Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 chart and number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Bounce" was also released in Australia and the United Kingdom, where it reached number 14 on both countries' charts.
