The title is taken from a lyric in their 1982 song, "Power and the Passion". The Australian slang expression flat chat is used for "at the limit of one's powers or resources" or "working or moving as fast as possible".

Of the 18 songs included in Flat Chat, four had previously been included in Midnight Oil's compilation album 20,000 Watt R.S.L. (1997), and twelve would later be included in Midnight Oil's most comprehensive compilation album, Essential Oils (2012).
