Composition

In contrast to the folksy Dylan-esque single "Now or Never" song that the song was originally released as a B-side to, "Move on Fast" is described by Yoko Ono as an "offbeat pop/rock sound", which also draws from bop, big band swing, and "razor-sharp feminist rock." [3] Ben Urish and Ken Bielen described the song as "a straight-ahead rocker that hits the ground running and never lets up." [4] They also praise John Lennon's guitar playing. [4] John Lennon biographer Jon Wiener claimed that the song has a "furious rock beat." [5] He described Ono's vocal as employing "a nervous, blank voice that qualifies as proto-New Wave." [5]

Chart performance

The song became Yoko Ono's sixth consecutive number-one hit on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart and her eighth number-one hit overall. [6] [7]
