The EP features four tracks and the 12" version covers two pieces of vinyl with a track over each side. There are two versions of the title track, "Times Fly (Slow)" a down tempo track and "Times Fly (Fast)" with a more drum and bass feel. The EP also features "Sad But New", an alternate version of "Sad But True" from the Snivilisation album which features vocals from Alison Goldfrapp. "Sad But New" samples then-current Prime Minister John Major discussing New Age travellers. In its original broadcast on BBC Radio 1 via ISDN, "Sad But True" featured extensive samples from John Major edited together into a protest message.
