The second U.K. single taken off Iggy Azalea’s debut album The New Classic, produced by Reeva & Black. The track was not released in North America until the album’s release.

Iggy said that she initially felt that it was a risky choice for a single, and consulted Nas regarding the decision:

“With ‘Bounce,’ I was like, ‘It’s a pop record. I don’t know.’ [Nas] was like, ‘Just fucking do it. It’s something different. It’s one song, what’s the big deal?’ I couldn’t believe Nas was telling me to do a hip-pop record.”

She also did not intend to include the song on The New Classic, believing that it strayed too far from the album’s musical and lyrical themes, but her record label convinced her otherwise and it was included as one of the album’s three bonus tracks.

The accompanying music video for “Bounce” was filmed in Mumbai, India.
