"Fast" is a trap song,[1][2] containing a siren-like sound in the instrumental.[2]
SuecoTheChild uploaded the song to SoundCloud on April 1, 2019.[3] After discovering TikTok's contribution to the popularity of many songs such as "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X, Sueco made an account and posted a video set to the song.[1][2][4] He then asked his friend Lukas Daly, a skateboarder and TikTok star, to share a video featuring the song.[1][2][3][4] As a result of the video, the song immediately gained the attention of TikTok influencers and was soon used in over three million TikToks.[1][2][3][4][5] Such videos particularly used the bass-heavy first 15 seconds of the song.[1][3][5] The success of the song led to Sueco signing to Atlantic Records.[2][3] The song was released to streaming services on May 10, 2019,[3] and later appeared on Sueco's second EP Miscreant.[2]
An official music video premiered on June 19, 2019. It critiques the concept of "clout", and sees SuecoTheChild and his crew causing mischief, such as running amok in a department store, posing next to cars that do not belong to them, riding horses, and "making beats on a woman's buttocks".[6]
An official remix of the song featuring American rappers Offset and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie was released on June 25, 2019, debuting on Zane Lowe's World First on his radio show Beats 1. It sees the featured artists rapping about the wealth, success and sex in their lives.[7] A second remix of the song with Offset and producer Y2K was released on July 26, 2019.[8] The first remix appears on the deluxe edition of Sueco's debut studio album It Was Fun While It Lasted (2022).[9]
