The top number tells you how many beats are in a measure, the bottom number then telling you how long the beat is (quarter note, eighth note, etc...)

∙ 13y agono the speed of a song is based on what is called tempo. Tempo is based on how many beats are in a minute, beats per minute (bpm) and is often times depicted as a quarter note= and then a number. This is what tells how fast a piece is, but the upper number on a time signature tells what kind of note gets the beat. If there is a two as the upper number then the half note gets the beat, if a four as the upper number then a quarter note gets the beat, if it is an eight then the eighth note gets the beat, and so on like that. The bottom number tells how many beats are in a measure so if it is a four over a four than the quarter note gets the beat and there are four beats in a measure. A measure is a musical way to divide up a piece.

Quarter notes are a division of time. For example, the time signature 4/4 means there are four beats in a measure (the top-first number) and a quarter note (the bottom-second 4) receives one beat. A tempo (speed) marking indicates how fast or slow the composed wants his/her piece to be played.

Is 2 2 time signature fast or slow?
Whilst there is nothing to stop someone scoring a piece of music in 2/2 time and making the tempo fast, this time signature is much more suited to slower music. (It would be illogical to write a fast piece of music entirely in 2/2 time instead of 4/4.)
