Bounce
John-John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When other folks make fun of your name, being mean to you is their idea of a game
Always remember, don't be ashamed, don't stay with them, move away from the lame
You bounce, you bounce, & when you're ready, you pounce, you bounce, you bounce
When unwanted strangers try to invade your space, & you just wanna be alone, in your own place
There's one thing you've got to do, there's one thing you've got to tell them to
To bounce, to bounce, & when you're ready, you pounce, to bounce, to bounce
Whenever the world has got you down & feeling like no one wants you around
You feel like you're losing, when everyone else is winning, and the world's going by so fast, like a loose fan spinning
Just bounce, just bounce, & when you're ready, you pounce, just bounce, just bounce




Bounce, bounce, Bounce bounce, bounce, bounce, & when you're ready
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of John-John's song Bounce seem to be about the various motivations he had as he pursued his dreams of success, but how now he is in too deep and wants to take a break from it all. The opening lines suggest that he did it for the love of his craft, for his family, and for his friends. The mention of doing it for 'game' and 'fame' suggest that he may have been motivated by the competitive nature of the industry and the desire to be recognized for his talent. However, he admits that he is now in too deep, which could be interpreted as a recognition that he has sacrificed a lot to attain his success, or that he has lost touch with the reasons he started making music in the first place.


The chorus of the song centers on the idea of bouncing, which is likely a metaphor for moving forward or progressing. However, the repetition of the phrase "bouncing on this" and the mention of being "in a pool of loving" suggest that it could also be interpreted as a sexual innuendo or reference. The repeated mention of needing somebody to save him now could suggest that he is feeling overwhelmed by the demands of fame and success and needs someone or something to help him get out.


Overall, the lyrics of John-John's song Bounce are somewhat ambiguous, but suggest that he has had success in his career, but is struggling with the pressures that come with it. The mention of needing love and support from someone could also suggest that he is feeling lonely or isolated, despite his success and fame.
