I can't believe that every day and every night (Bounce)
It's getting better with you out of my life (Bounce)
It's like I flicked a switch and now I'm feeling good (Bounce)
When the weekend comes I know I'll feel alive (Bounce)
You will be the last thing on my mind (Bounce)
No regrets, do you know what that means?
Well, it’s hot, it’s loud, it’s wild
We bounce to this track
And I don’t care what anybody thinks about that
Hands to the sky, and throw your head back
I can love again tonight
We bounce to this track
And I don't care what anybody thinks about that
Hands to the sky, and throw your head back

Well, it’s hot, it’s loud, it’s wild

And I don’t care what anybody thinks about that
I don’t care what anybody thinks about that

The chorus "Bounce" is repeated, signifying the release of pent-up emotions and a newfound confidence to carry on. The second verse further emphasizes the weekend will be enjoyable, and the ex will no longer be in their thoughts. The final lines of the first verse where the singer states, "No regrets, do you know what that means?" suggest the singer is happy with their decision to move on.
The lyrics in the chorus where the singer says," Well, it’s hot, it’s loud, it’s wild, We bounce to this track," shows the parties they attend and how the music has brought joy to their life, which was missing before. The singer is not concerned about what others might think of the party, and the lyrics explicitly express that, "And I don’t care what anybody thinks about that, Hands to the sky, and throw your head back." The singer is enjoying the pleasure of dancing its way out of a heartbreak.
In conclusion, Calvin Harris's "Bounce" featuring Kelis is a celebratory song about moving on from a toxic relationship, embracing life and everything that comes with it.
