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)

No way to stop it, now you wish that you could (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

Bounce

Bounce

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
I don't care what anybody thinks about that

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Craig David and Calvin Harris’ collaborative track Bounce are a relatable account of moving on from a toxic relationship and rediscovering joy in life. The repeated use of the word ‘bounce’ in the chorus highlights the central theme of the song, which is letting go of the past and embracing the present. The artist begins by admitting that he couldn’t imagine life without his former partner but now that she’s gone, his life has improved “every day and every night”. He expresses the newfound joy and excitement he feels and how it’s like a switch was flipped to make him feel this way. He tells his ex that there’s no way to stop his happiness and she’ll be the last thing on his mind as he enjoys his life.

The second verse is all about enjoying the moment and feeling the freedom of being able to enjoy life without regrets. In the lines “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”, the artist is encouraging his listeners to let their hair down and dance without fear of judgment or societal norms. The song ends with the chorus repeated a few more times and the artist telling the listeners that he doesn’t care what anyone thinks about him having a good time.

Overall, Bounce is a catchy track that is easy to sing along to and relatable to anyone who has experienced the pain of a rough breakup. The use of the word “bounce” in every line of the chorus makes the song feel like an anthem for anyone looking to move past their previous relationship and embrace a new start.
