It initially debuted at number 16 on the German Singles Chart in the week of 4 August 2003,[1] before rising to number twelve, its peak position, in the following week.[1] The song would spend 12 weeks inside the top 100 of the chart.[1] GfK ranked it 68th on its 2003 year-end singles chart.[2] Elsewhere in German-speaking Europe, "Bounce" reached number 20 in Austria and number 14 in Switzerland,[3][4] where it charted significantly higher than previous single "He's Unbelievable" (2003).[3][4]

In the United States, radio programmers at 106.9 K-HITS in Tulsa, Oklahoma, received an import copy of the "Bounce"'s physical single and gave it airplay, which cued Epic Records to promote the song nationwide.[5] The song subsequently reached number 11 on the US Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart and number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100, scoring Connor her first and only US entry to date.[6] "Bounce" was also released in Australia and the United Kingdom, where it reached number 14, Connor's sole entry on both countries' charts.[7][8] It further reached number 23 on the Irish Singles Chart.[9]
