The song's lyrics dealt mainly with the commercialisation of the music industry and featured the tongue-in-cheek line "Destroyed by MTV / I hate to bite the hand that feeds me / so much information", alluding to the belief that it was solely MTV that had made the band.

Unlike the previous two singles from The Wedding Album, "Too Much Information" was more upbeat and rockish in nature with big chunky power chords played by guitarist Warren Cuccurullo and live drums played by Steve Ferrone. This may have alienated the ballad-friendly audience that were attracted to the previous two singles, "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone", which may have in turn led to a lower position on the pop and adult contemporary charts. It performed much better on the alternative rock and club charts.
