"Mo Bounce" is a song recorded by Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. It was released on 23 March 2017 and it debuted on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show. [4] [5] It was produced by The Stereotypes and Far East Movement. [6]

The song was teased from the beginning of March with various pictures posted on her social networks, some of them being GIFs. [7] [8] [9] The song was originally released as a second single from her then-forthcoming second studio album, then titled Digital Distortion, before being shelved and the album scrapped. [10]

Critical reception

Billboard commented that "the upbeat tempo and the fun and loud lyrics mirror the happier-sounding track and perhaps her [Iggy's] life right now." [11] Claire Lobenfeld from Fact gave a negative review, calling the song "a blog house revival nightmare." [12] According to Hardeep Phull from New York Post, the song is "the best thing the 26-year-old has released since her glory days of 2014" and "ultra-catchy", also pointing out "it's the strong comeback she desperately needs." [13] "Mo Bounce" was among the Stereotype's recognized body of work that secured their Producer of the Year, Non-Classical nomination at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. [14] [15] Time magazine ranked it as the fifth worst song of 2017, saying "the repetitive 'bounce, bounce, bounce' chorus was a respite" from Azalea's lyrics. [16]

Music video

The music video was shot in Hong Kong by director Lil Internet in late February. [6] On 20 March 2017, Vevo announced the video would also be premiering on 24 March. [17] On March 21, Iggy Azalea posted a series of GIFs on her Twitter profile from the music video as she partnered with Giphy to release a promotional set. [9] There are multiple instances where young women are twerking, as well as Iggy doing so. [18] On March 22, Vevo released a 20-second video promoting Iggy Azalea's single. [19]

The official music video was released on 24 March 2017 on Vevo. [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25]

In June 2018, the music video received 60 million views on YouTube.[ citation needed]
