"Fast as You Can" is a song written by Fiona Apple, and produced by Jon Brion for her second album, When the Pawn....

It became one of Apple's most successful singles in both countries, and its music video, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, was well received.

"[5] The Philadelphia Inquirer described the song as "slightly off-kilter, perpetually destabilized ... an intricate suite of shifting moods that starts as a '60s soul-jazz stomp, then is connected by a rueful ballad interlude to a sauntering triple-meter chorus.

"[2] The New York Times wrote that it "signals its mood swings — love me, fight me, don't go, get out while you can — with tempo changes and unlikely interludes, from a blunt hip-hop drumbeat to [flute-like] 'Strawberry Fields' keyboards.

[12] It failed to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 but became Apple's first—and, currently, only—single to reach the top 40 on the United Kingdom Singles Chart, where it was released on February 14 and peaked at number 33.

"[17] The video was photographed by Robert Elswit and edited by Dylan Tichenor, and it premiered on MTV and VH1 the week ending on September 19, 1999.

It was nominated for a 2000 Billboard Music Award for "Best Pop Clip of the Year",[20] with media sources describing it as "quirky",[21] "simple, improvised",[8] "playful and inventive".
