"Gotta Go Fast" is the opening theme of the North American dub of Sonic X. It is used for all 78 episodes in the series, during the show's entire original run in the US from 23 August 2003 to 6 May 2006. The full version is played during the intro and a shortened version is played during the end credits for all English versions. In the ending credits of certain English versions, the song can sometimes be heard high-pitched or low-pitched due to the 4% speed-up in certain countries.

A version was also done by "4Kids", which ran during commercial breaks as a music video of the band playing along with clips from the show. This version, alongside the original version, is featured on the album "Music From 4Kids TV".

The song would later be included on True Blue: The Best of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Performers

  • Norman J. Grossfeld
  • Russell Velázquez
  • A Spanish version was also done for broadcasting on U.S. channels targeted towards Hispanics (Spanish people born in the U.S.).

Lyrics

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Gotta go fast, gotta go fast,
Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
Movin' at speed of sound (make tracks)
Quickest hedgehog around
Got ourselves a situation, stuck in a new location,
Without any explanation, no time for relaxation!
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't blink, don't think,
Just go, go, go, go, g-g-g-g-go, go!
N-n-n-n-n-n-na
N-n-n-n-n-n-na
Sonic, he's on the run!
Sonic, he's number one!
Sonic, he's comin' next,
So watch out... For Sonic X!
Gotta go fast (Sonic!), gotta go fast (Sonic!),
Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster, faster!
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
So... (Sonic) nic... (Sonic) X,
Gotta go fast!
Gotta go fast!
Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster,
Sonic X!

Ending version

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
Movin' at speed of sound (make tracks)
Quickest hedgehog around
Got ourselves a situation, stuck in a new location,
Sonic, he's on the run!
Sonic, he's comin' next,
So watch out... For Sonic X!
So... (Sonic) nic... (Sonic) X,
Gotta go faster!
Gotta go fast!
Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster,
Sonic X!
