Chesney says the song "defines how I've lived my life in the last several years. Because it has happened so quick. And I say it's happened so quick. I mean, I've been doing it for 12 years. But the last four to five years, it's been an amazing thing to live through and to see happen to you and to see your fan base grow to a point where it's unbelievable to stand in front of that microphone every night and see how passionate they are about your music. ... More importantly, how much fun they're having with it ... out in the parking lots before the show and during the show. It's everything I ever dreamed of and more."[2]
The music video was directed by Shaun Silva and premiered on CMT on December 1, 2005. This video was filmed on tour, but while the former shows the actual show, this one is more of the behind-the-scenes.
"Living in Fast Forward" debuted at number 54 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week of November 19, 2005.
