It is the lead single from Far East Movement 's third studio album Free Wired, and production was handled 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. `` Like a G6 '' peaked at number - one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for three non-consecutive weeks. The song also topped the charts in New Zealand and South Korea, and reached the top ten in Australia, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Thailand, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland and Slovakia. The song was the first single by Asian - American artists to hit number - one on the Billboard Hot 100, and the first by any artists of Asian descent since Kyu Sakamoto 's 1963 single `` Sukiyaki ''. Although the song is credited as `` Far East Movement, featuring The Cataracts and Dev '', on iTunes all three artists are the lead artists.

They settled on `` G6 '', meant to be a 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. When the song came out, the Gulfstream G650 model already existed, although the song 's writers were not aware of this at the time. Since then, the Gulfstream G600 has also been announced. Reception `` Like a G6 '' samples its chorus from Dev 's `` Booty Bounce ''. The song has sold 4 million paid downloads in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Gulfstream Aerospace has stated that they were `` thrilled '' about the product reference. Music video The music video, which was directed by Matt Alonzo and edited by Thomas Uncles, premiered on YouTube and Vevo on June 2, 2010. The line `` sippin ' sizzurp '' and the word `` slizzered '' are censored on some channels. It follows a woman in a red dress ( Erica Ocampo ) picking up a friend from a restaurant and going to a liquor store, presumably in preparation for a party. A later scene shows the woman and her friends at the party, Colette Carr also make a cameo, Dev and the members of Far East Movement can also be seen in this party scene. The final scene shows the members of Far East Movement getting on a Gulfstream IV the next morning.
