"679" is the second single by American rapper Fetty Wap from his self-titled debut album. The song features Remy Boyz member Monty and former Remy Boyz member P-Dice. "679" peaked at number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, becoming his second highest-charting single after "Trap Queen". The album version of the song omits P-Dice's verse, only featuring Monty.

"679" was released on June 29, 2015. The name ''679" comes from Wap's birthday, which is June 7, 1991 (6/7/1991). Wap stated that he considers "679" to be his best song so far. Wap and Monty performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in September 2015.

"679" was written by Fetty Wap and Remy Boyz. The song was produced by Brian "Peoples" Garcia. Each song concluded with trademark "1738" and "yeah baby!" sounds. Once again, this furthered the fact that his crew was more like a family, and that Wap's success was not his alone.

The video for "679" was released to the WorldStarHipHop official YouTube channel in May 2015. It was later uploaded to Fetty Wap's YouTube channel in July 2015 and has over 252 million views as of January 21, 2016.

The song is briefly heard in the television shows Empire, Superstore and The Quad.

"679" was the highest-ranking debut on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart dated July 18, 2015, entering the chart at number 34. Its chart debut was fueled by first-week digital download sales of 86,000 copies as well as 3.4 million domestic streams. The following week, it jumped to number 19, earning the biggest gain in streams on the chart. "679" became Wap's third top 10 hit in the United States during the year of 2015 when it reached number eight on the chart dated September 5, 2015, and has since reached number four. As of February 2016, "679" has sold 1,830,064 copies domestically.
