"Bounce" is a Pop/Soul song performed by German pop star Sarah Connor. The song samples from Mary J Blige's single "Family Affair". It was the 4th and final single off her sophomore album Unbelievable; and the lead single off her self titled US debut

'Bounce' was originally released in Germany in July, 2003. Despite being one of her greatest singles (and one of her signature songs) Sarah was pregnant at the time and unable to promote. The song peaked at #12 and was the 68th best-selling single in 2003 in Germany.

In Winter 2003/2004 some American DJs got a hold of a copy of 'Bounce' and began to give it airplay. It soon was receiving huge US airplay charting at #11 on Billboard's 'Top 40 Mainstream' and #21 on Billboard's 'Top 40 tracks' charts. The single charted on Billboard's biggest chart 'The top 100' peaking at #54. A self titled album to follow 'Bounce's' success was released however it did poorly only charting at #106 on the top 200 chart. By the time 'Bounce' made it to the US Sarah was heavily pregnant (the self titled album being released weeks before her son was born) and was unable to do any promotion. She has not tried to release in the US since though rumor has it her 7th album may be released there.
