Far East Movement - Like a G6

"Like a G6" is a song from Far East Movement's 2010 album Free Wired. The track features female vocals by Devin Star Tailes and male vocals by The Cataracs. It was written and produced by Niles Hollowell-Dhar of The Cataracs. It was number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks ending November 6, 2010, and then again for the week of November 27 of the same year. It is one of only eight singles in Billboard history to return to #1 after two or more other singles had succeeded it in that position. The song has also topped the charts in New Zealand and South Korea and reached the top ten in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Thailand, Sweden, Switzerland and Slovakia.

Many questions surround the meaning of "G6." Some believed it to be a reference to the Pontiac G6.[1] However, at least one member of the band has clarified the reference is to a G6 airplane, or Gulfstream 650, which is Gulfstream's top of the line private jet. "A G6 is not a Gatorade flavor. It's not a car, convertible, four-door. It's not a watch," group member Kev Nish told MTV News. "But Drake, Drake talks about having G4 pilots on deck, so we said, 'What's flyer than a G4?' Of course, it would be a G6." There are several references in the song to being "fly". While it could simply refer to the common slang for being "cool", "fly" could also hold a double meaning, such as referencing the physical act of flying in a G6 jet. It samples Dev's single "Booty Bounce" which is the hook/chorus.
