Bounce – Bon Jovi


I been knocked down so many times

Counted out 6, 7, 8, 9

Written off like some bad deal

If you’re breathing you know how it feels

Call it karma, call it luck

Me, I just don’t give a fu-fu-fu-fu

Bounce. Bounce. Nothing’s gonna keep me down

Bounce. Bounce. Stand up, shout it out

Bounce. Bounce. I play hard, I play to win

Count me out, count me in

I’ll be bouncing back again

This ain’t no game; I play it hard

Kicked around, cut, stitched and scarred

I’ll take the hit but not the fall

I know no fear, still standing tall

You can call it karma, call it luck

Me, I just don’t give a fu-fu-fu-fu

Bounce. Bounce. Nothing’s gonna keep me down

Bounce. Bounce. Stand up, shout it out

Bounce. Bounce. I play hard, I play to win

Count me out, count me in

I’ll be bouncing back again

Bounce!

Bring it on, I like it rough

In your face, I call your bluff

It ain’t karma, it ain’t luck

Me, I just don’t give a fu-fu-fu-fu

Bounce. Bounce. Nothing’s gonna keep me down

Bounce. Bounce. Stand up, shout it out

Bounce. Bounce. I play hard, I play to win

Count me out, count me in

I’ll be bouncing back again

Bounce. Bounce

Nothing’s gonna keep me down

Bounce. Bounce. Stand up, shout it out

Bounce. Bounce. I play hard, I play to win

Count me out, count me in

I’ll be bouncing back again

Bounce. Bounce

Bounce. Bounce

Bounce. Bounce

Bounce. Bounce

Bounce!

Resilience and Determination in “Bounce”

Lines like “Nothing’s gonna keep me down” and “I’ll be bouncing back again” highlight the song’s core message: no matter how many times life knocks you down, you can always get back up. The repeated use of the word “bounce” drives home the idea of rebounding from hardship, while the unapologetic tone in the verses adds a layer of defiance and self-confidence. This track resonates with anyone who’s faced tough times and found the strength to persevere.
