BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1990

“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.

Michael Jay produced the track, as well as producing the entire album, whilst the song was released as the album’s lead single. It was Alisha’s last single to make any commercial impact.

Handing the song over to Alisha for her third album, Michael Jay also gave the singer the Fire on Blonde track “Wrong Number” for the album as well, and the song was also released as the second single. After the 1987 album Nightwalkin’ only gave Alisha some minor chart action, mainly on the Dance Charts, “Bounce Back”, released nearly two years after the previous single, gave the singer her biggest charting release on the American Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at #54 in mid-1990 On the American Dance Music/Club Play Singles chart, the song peaked at #10 whilst also peaking at #26 on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart.
