After teasing fans with a new single, the girls finally announced the name and release date at the end of May 2019 posting a short teaser clip on their socials along with the artwork.

Captioning the post with the release date of the 14th June, and the lyrics from the clip, '#SteadyAreYouReady❓#BounceBack #June14th', the very pink artwork shows the girls with their backs to the camera, sitting on inflatables next to an inflatable palm tree giving this new music serious summer vibes.
