"Bounce with Me" is the debut single by American rapper Lil' Bow Wow featuring girl group Xscape. Taken from his debut album Beware of Dog, the single samples "Love Serenade (Part II)" by Barry White. It spent nine weeks at number 1 on the Hot Rap Tracks and number 20 on Billboard Hot 100. The song was featured in the film Big Momma's House and the trailer of Hardball. A radio remix and extended version featuring R.O.C. and Lil' 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]
