"Like a G6" is a 2010 song by Far East Movement, featuring The Cataracs and Dev, from the Far East Movement album Free Wired. All of the artists wrote the song, and production was helmed by The Cataracs. For the chorus, Dev samples a verse from her own single "Booty Bounce", which was also written and produced by the Cataracs. The song was used as the theme song for Shrek Forever After.
"Like a G6" 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. The song also topped the charts in New Zealand and South Korea, and reached the top ten in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Thailand, Sweden, Switzerland and Slovakia.
The "G6" in the song "Booty Bounce", which was sampled in "Like a G6", came about when the songs' producers, the Cataracs, were looking for a rhyme for the line "Sippin' sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6", a reference to the 2000 song "Sippin' on Some Syrup" by rap group Three 6 Mafia. They settled on "G6", meant to be a hyperbolic reference to the private airplane model Gulfstream IV, referred to as a "G4". The G4 had been name-checked in songs such as Drake's 2009 "Forever". A G6, they decided, was "flyer than a G4", according to Far East Movement member Kev Nish. The song has been incorrectly speculated to be about other things, including the Pontiac G6 and the Suunto G6 watch. There are also Gulfstream models, the Gulfstream G650, and Gulfstream G600 (announced Oct. 2014) although the song's writers were not aware of this at the time. The song was also the first single by artists of Asian descent to make number one on the Billboard Hot 100 since Kyu Sakamoto's 1963 single "Sukiyaki".
