"Bounce with Me" is the debut single by American rapperLil' Bow Wow featuring girl groupXscape. Taken from his debut albumBeware of Dog, the single samples "Love Serenade (Part II)" byBarry White. It spent nine weeks at number 1 on theHot Rap Tracks and number 20 onBillboard Hot 100. The song was featured in the filmBig Momma's House and the trailer ofHardball. A radio remix and extended version featuringR.O.C. andLil' Mo was also released.
In a January 2022 interview with Rory & Mal, Jermaine Dupri revealed that he wrote the first verse to the song while Da Brat wrote the second verse. This is why the second verse involves Lil Bow Wow using a faster flow on multiple parts, as Dupri requested Brat to write the verse in the same cadence she would typically use when she raps.[1]
The video, directed byDave Meyers, features appearances byJermaine Dupri,Jagged Edge andDa Brat. Brief clips fromBig Momma's House are also included.
