"Bounce" is the first Calvin Harris single without Calvin Harris singing on it. Back in November 2010 the Scottish DJ and producer had announced that he was finished with live shows and done with singing on his tracks, ready to pour everything into production and DJing and leave the vocals to people who could really sing. This lead single from his third album, 18 Months, was the proof: American singer Kelis takes the mic, and Harris stays behind the desk.
He still did everything else, writing, arranging, playing and producing it himself, and the result is sleek, pumping progressive house built for the drop. Annie Mac gave it its first spin on her BBC Radio 1 show on 29 April 2011, and the single followed on 10 June.
