The song was the second of six singles to be taken from George's comeback album Older, which was his first studio album in six years and only the third of his solo career. "Fastlove" was an energetic tune about the need for gratification and fulfillment without concern for commitment.

A re-sung but otherwise identical chorus of the Patrice Rushen hit "Forget Me Nots", performed by Irish-British pop singer Siobhan Fahey (who also appears at the end of the music video), was used in the closing bars, although no co-writing credit was initially given. The song was somewhat unusual for a popular song, in that it does not have a defined chorus and that the single version is nearly five minutes long.

Michael wrote the song based on a brief love affair with city banker Brett Charles whom he met in Kazakhstan while writing songs for the album.
