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]

Its lyrics are filled with many historic and cultural references, such as to the "digger", Albert Namatjira and Ned Kelly, among others. Its popularity has allowed it to join the ranks of other patriotic songs considered as alternatives to the Australian national anthem, "Advance Australia Fair". It is commonly taught in primary schools. In the years since the song's release, there have been calls for it to become Australia's national anthem, notably in 2011 by former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett.
