"Bounce Back" is a song written by Michael Jay and Gregory Smith. The best-known version of the song is the 1990 version by American freestyle and dance-pop singer Alisha, from her same-titled album Bounce Back, although the track was also recorded by duo Fire on Blonde and American pop singer-songwriter Martika.

"Bounce Back" was originally released as single in 1987 by American Los Angeles based duo Fire on Blonde. The release was a non-album single and was the band's third and final single release in total.

Formed by keyboardist Jim Vukovich and singer Suzie Benson in 1985, the band released their Atlantic Records debut single in 1986, "Stop and Think", which failed to make any mainstream impact. Vukovich left the group in 1987 after months of creative differences with Benson. He was not easily replaced. The duo's manager James Elliott eventually settled for a keyboard player from Sweden named Scott Rudress. Both Rudgress and vocalist Suzie Benson recorded two singles in 1987: "Wrong Number" and "Bounce Back". Both songs were co-written and produced by Michael Jay. The recording efforts of Jay, Benson and Rudgress failed to chart and make any mainstream impact. Their first record "Stop and Think" was the only noteworthy record by the 1st incarnation of the group (Vukovich and Benson), masterfully produced by young wiz kid producer, Derek Nakamoto. Shortly following in 1988, the group broke up.

In 1988, the song was included as part of the soundtrack to the film Screwball Hotel, starring Michael Bendetti and Andrew Zeller.

In 1988, the song was included on the various artists 2x vinyl LP compilation Remixed Records 20, which was released in Sweden on May 11, 1988. This exclusive remix was created by Tommy Ledberg.

Since the original release of the song, various unofficial YouTube videos of the song have together gained over 14,000 views.

In the February 7, 2004 issue of Lake County News-Sun, a Chicago Sun-Times Publication, the band and the song was mentioned, stating "A short-lived duo called Fire on Blonde, got a contract with Atlantic Records and recorded a couple of dance hits called "Stop and Think" and "Bounce Back"."

The single was produced for James Elliott Productions and mastered at Precision DMM.

The single was mainly released in America on both the TSR-distributed Spinn Records and Atlantic Records, although the single would also be released in Belgium in 1988 via Indisc.
