Truly bothered about the information, needing to act fast (8)

I believe the answer is:

urgently

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to act fast' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'truly bothered about the information' is the wordplay.
'bothered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the information' becomes 'gen' (gen is a kind of information).
'truly' is an anagram of 'urtly'.
'urtly' going around 'gen' is 'URGENTLY'.

'needing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
