"Fred Astaire" comes from San Cisco's self-titled debut album, and the Australian indie pop band first slipped it out as a promotional CD-R in November 2012 before sending it out properly as a single in January 2013. Jordi Davieson, Josh Biondillo, Nick Gardner and Scarlett Stevens share the writing credit.

It reached No. 89 on the Australian chart that February and made its way to North America by May. Indie Shuffle's Jason Grishkoff heard a thoroughly fun single, while NME's Daniel Martin summed it up as "super-sickly". The video, directed by Andrew Nowrojee, picked up a Best Video nomination at the 2013 ARIA Music Awards.
