Stray Kids- 'Bounce Back'

This song is so good! I love it, and it's even better live imo. I think you'd enjoy their performance at the AAA (Asia Artist Awards) from a few months ago where they did BLEEP, Walkin on Water, Bounce Back and Ceremony. Lee Know sprained his ankle a week before at another award show so he had to sit down for this one and Seungmin also had a foot injury and couldn't dance the full choreos, but that didn't stop them from giving a banger performance!

Love that song!!! Also I just wanted to comment on what you said on the end about the hearts. I think most of us Stays are not super picky about what exact Straykids content we get, for us its simply the more the better😂😆 We appricate that you are so mindfull about it but its also totaly fine if you just pick something that you yourself really want to do. For example you mentioned wanting to do some more Han so if some Han recs skip the queue nobody is going to mind😆

This song is so good!! I do think it’s kind of a misconception to say that the song was made in response to the Met Gala, bc knowing them, this song was probably already in the making way before that (obviously, that’s just my own speculation). It’s more probably a response to haters in general, not just the racist photographers. For example, when they mention other groups, they're not dissing any group in oarticular (they’re friends with so many idols), but rather their fans who hate on SKZ and compare them out of nowhere. The belief that it’s about the Met Gala comes from the performance itself bc they reference it with the clapping and camera gestures but that was probably added later on bc of the situation and they released the song not so long after, so the whole situation probably added to the song later on (like the clapping probably) and in a way, they kind of dedicated the performance to that moment but it’s not like it was originally made for them. Han did say that the song was like a ... no matter what people say to them.... so what?

YEAAAH. I love this song more every time I listen to it. So gritty and growly and good. Apparently Han's rap also does something very cool with quintuplets? I don't really understand it but I saw someone talking about it recently. There's no music video but there are now some live performances. They did one at AAA (award show) alongside BLEEP (which you know is also a diss track), creating a really aggressive (good) performance. To fill in some details - the reason people believe this is a direct response to the situation at the MET Gala is mainly because Chan did a clap just like the one in the song, at the MET gala to get the group's attention to move on from the photographers. Also I don't think any of this was meant to be interpreted as being about kpop groups. I'm not aware of any drama between the groups like that (its mostly the fandoms trying to fistfight each other), and the cowardly "barking" fits what the photographers were doing. From the photographer comments, it seems like they didn't believe that Stray Kids would understand them in English, or wouldn't be fluent enough to pick up on racially-driven statements. You can find videos of it online, it's pretty gross. I don't really know anything about the MET Gala, or celebrity news in general, but if it were me running that event I would be ashamed. We don't know what was changed and probably never will. I think they said JPYE specifically asked them to tone it down (it was a company decision, not a stylistic decision) so the original lyrics will probably not see the light of day.

Fineally got to watch this and im glad I picked something you enjoyed!!! To answer your last question first the whistle was added by Bang Chan.😆 I just love this song, its such a cool interesting sound and the Han Rap is one of my all time favorites!

I'm so happy to see Bounce Back!! I agree with the prodigy vibes. For me this song always makes me think of gritty London council estates and Guy Ritchie films. It's such a gritty vibe.
