Background

In an interview with the Star Observer, Jade explained that "Bounce" "not only focuses on the spring step that comes from being loved but also centres on the personal growth that comes from loving another. [...] Basically, it's a song about love. But it's about that person you meet that puts a bounce in your step and makes you want to be better, and as it says in the bridge 'love harder' and do better, and just be a better person. I think that's a very different love [compared] to that kind of obsessive love. It's a better love."[4] She has described the song as "R&B pop and it feels very natural for me. It's a return to my roots with the music I started doing when I was 17."[5]

To promote the single, Jade was announced to perform at the final of the ninth season of Australia's Got Talent on 22 September 2019.[6]
