The song was initially posted on November 4, 2009 on Far East Movement's YouTube page.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://youtube.com/watch?v=GvgJEznqtms?si=rFnpzcsG_JK5I3HX | title="LIKE a G6" (OFFICIAL) FAR EAST MOVEMENT (FM) feat the Cataracs & Dev | via=[[YouTube]] | date=November 4, 2009 | access-date=May 12, 2024}}</ref> An [[electro-hop]] club song, Dev sing-raps the song's hook and the verses are performed by Far East Movement.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thebeliever.net/resurrector-like-a-g6/|title=Resurrector: “Like a G6”|website=The Believer|date=March 27, 2025}}</ref>
"Like a G6" peaked at the top of the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] for three non-consecutive weeks, becoming the first single by Asian-American artists to do so and the first by any artists of East Asian origin since [[Kyu Sakamoto]]'s 1963 single "[[Sukiyaki (song)|Sukiyaki]]". Outside of the United States, "Like a G6" topped the chart in New Zealand, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in numerous countries, including Australia, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom.

The G4 had been name-checked in songs such as [[Drake (musician)|Drake]]'s 2009 "[[Forever (Drake song)|Forever]]".

[[Gulfstream Aerospace]] has stated that they were "thrilled" about the product reference.<ref name="fortune_g6" />
==Music video== The music video, which was directed by [[Matt Alonzo]] premiered on [[YouTube]] and [[Vevo]] on June 3, 2010. The line "sippin' [[purple drank|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, the Cataracs 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.
