"Fast Car" received three Grammy Award nominations: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, the latter of which it won. It also received an MTV Video Music Award nomination for Best Female Video in 1989.

Music and lyrics

According to Metro Weekly critic Chris Gerard, "Fast Car" tells a grittily realistic story of a working poor woman trying to escape the cycle of poverty, set to folk rock music.[5] The song's arrangement was described by Orlando Sentinel writer Thom Duffy as "subtle folk-rock",[6] while Billboard magazine's Gary Trust deemed the record a "folk/pop" song.[7] Dave Marsh said it was perhaps an "optimistic folk-rock narrative", whose characters are in a homeless shelter.[8]

Release and promotion

Elektra Records released "Fast Car" on April 6, 1988, one day after the parent album, Tracy Chapman.[9] That June, Chapman appeared at the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute concert, where she was initially scheduled to sing three songs.[10] Just before surprise guest Stevie Wonder walked onstage, he learned that his keyboard's floppy disk had gone missing. He left in a panic, forcing the event organizers to usher Chapman back to the stage with nothing but a microphone and her guitar. As the organizers readied the stage for the following act, Chapman performed "Fast Car" and "Across the Lines".[9][10] This performance brought attention to Chapman's music, with sales for Tracy Chapman increasing greatly, enough for it to top the Billboard 200 chart on August 27, 1988.[10][11] "Fast Car" itself would reach number six on the Billboard Hot 100 the same week.[12]

Critical reception

Rolling Stone ranked "Fast Car" number 167 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[13] It is Chapman's only song on the list, and the highest-ranking song performed and written solely by a female artist. When Rolling Stone updated the list in 2021, "Fast Car" was promoted to the 71st spot.[14] Pitchfork named it the 86th-best song of the 1980s.[15]

Renewed British success

In April 2011, "Fast Car" entered the UK top ten for the second time at number four after Michael Collings performed it on Britain's Got Talent, one position higher than its initial chart success in 1988.[16] The single was certified triple platinum in the United Kingdom by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in 2022, based on downloads and streaming.[17] By 2016, it had sold 661,500 copies in the United Kingdom.[18]

In 2015, a tropical house cover of "Fast Car" was released by British record producer Jonas Blue. It is Blue's debut single and features the vocals from British singer Dakota.[66] It is the lead single of Blue's debut album Blue (2018). The Club Mix was included on Blue's compilation, Jonas Blue: Electronic Nature – The Mix 2017.

Background and inspiration

In an interview with iHeartRadio, Blue stated Chapman's original 1988 hit is a favorite of Blue's mother, who would often play it in the car. "It was a good song in London [during] that time when I was growing up, so it was always on the radio," he went on to say. "And it just kind of stuck with me. It was that song on the long journeys, and I loved it."[67]

Regarding Dakota, who provides vocals on the song, Blue said, "... she [said], 'Oh, I've never done dance music before or anything like that so, I'm not kind of sure.' And I was like, 'Listen, you'd be great.' And she came the next day to record it, and what you hear on the radio is her coming in the next day after her show to record it."[67] Blue also admitted that he wanted to create a Swedish-esque sound on the record: "I think with things like the synth lead lines in it, giving it that second hook, I was kind of going for a very kind of Swedish-y kind of sound. That's kind of the influence behind that kind of lead synth line, and that was something which I don't think people have picked up on yet, but they just like the song because of what it is."[67]

Composition

Jonas Blue's version of "Fast Car" is performed in the key of A major with a tempo of 114 beats per minute in common time, with Dakota's vocals ranging from E3 to F♯4.[68][69]

Chart performance

The Jonas Blue version peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, behind Zayn Malik's "Pillowtalk".[70] Its UK peak meant it charted higher than Chapman's original, which peaked at number five on the chart in May 1988 and a position higher upon a re-release in April 2011.[71]

Outside the United Kingdom, the Jonas Blue version reached number one in Australia[72] and Hungary, while peaking within the top ten in Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, New Zealand, and Sweden. In the United States, the Jonas Blue version went to number one on Dance Club Songs.

It reached one billion streams on Spotify in late February 2023.[73]

American country music artist Luke Combs released a version of the song on his 2023 album Gettin' Old.[151] It was sent to US Top 40 and Hot AC radio as the second single from the album, marking the first time that Combs has had a song sent to contemporary hit radio, as well as the first single that he did not have a hand in writing.

Combs' version uses Chapman's original lyrics including the line "I work in the market as a checkout girl". Combs' manager Chris Kappy told Billboard magazine, "Luke is a songwriter too and Tracy is one of his favorite artists. So his goal was to never change the song. His goal was to honor the perfection that it is, and changing the gender never crossed his mind."[152]

In an interview with Billboard, Chapman spoke favorably of Combs and his rendition of "Fast Car", stating, "I never expected to find myself on the country charts, but I’m honored to be there. I’m happy for Luke and his success and grateful that new fans have found and embraced 'Fast Car.'"[153] According to Billboard, Chapman earned about $500,000 in publishing royalties in the first few months of the release.[154]

Commercial performance

Combs' version of "Fast Car" became a smash hit at radio, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100, higher than Chapman's original version, and on the Canadian Hot 100.[156][157] On the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated August 5, 2023, it sat at number three, behind Jason Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town" and Morgan Wallen's "Last Night" at numbers one and two, respectively, making it the first time in that chart's history that the top three positions were all occupied by country artists.[158]

The song reached number one on the Country Airplay chart in July 2023, making Chapman the first black woman to score a country number one with a solo composition.[159][160] Additionally, it became the first cover of a pop single to top a Billboard chart based on country radio airplay since Blake Shelton's version of Michael Bublé's 2005 single "Home" reached number one in 2008.[161] On the Country Airplay chart dated September 9, 2023, it held the number two position behind Combs' own "Love You Anyway" at the top, making it the first time in that chart's history that the top two positions were simultaneously occupied by a solo act with no accompanying acts, and only the second time that such a distinction has been achieved by any act overall.[162]
