The song was later included on Ono's compilation album Onobox. The song was part of the set for John Lennon's and Ono's One on One concerts on 30 August 1972 at Madison Square Garden, and was included on the 2025 Power to the People: Live at the One to One Concert albums.

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." Ben Urish and Ken Bielen described the song as "a straight-ahead rocker that hits the ground running and never lets up." They also praise John Lennon's guitar playing. He described Ono's vocal as employing "a nervous, blank voice that qualifies as proto-New Wave."

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.
