"Gas Pedal" is a song by American rapper Sage the Gemini. The song features additional vocals from fellow Bay Area rapper Iamsu!. The song was produced by Dominic Wynn Woods and written by Woods and Sudan Williams. Gas Pedal was recorded and released in 2012. It was released on March 21, 2013, as the second single from his debut studio album Remember Me. The song peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, making this the first top 40 hit for both artists, and making it one of hyphy's best known songs. It also reached the top ten on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts at numbers 6 and 4, respectively. An official remix for the song was released featuring Canadian singer Justin Bieber.

Directed by SUJ, the video is set in a barely lit mansion where Sage and Iamsu! are dressed in tuxedos surrounded by various women with blank expressions on their face. A woman wearing a red veil wrapped around her face catches Sage's attention and asks for her to be brought over. When the woman is brought over to Sage, she stands still only to dance a little before returning to being still again. The video premiered on the artist's YouTube page on March 21, 2013.

Sage and Iamsu! made their U.S. television debut performing "Gas Pedal" on the Late Show with David Letterman on March 27, 2013. The performance garnered little response from the audience but Sage was a good sport about his performance during an interview he had with RapFix Live: "But it was tight though, 'cause you could tell it was a real audience 'cause as soon as I was like, 'How y’all doing out there tonight?' They said, 'Ahhhh,'" Sage continued.

"Gas Pedal" debuted at number 58 on US Billboard Hot 100 for the week of August 10, 2013. Four weeks later, it peaked at number 29 for the week of September 7, 2013. It spent a total of twenty-five weeks on the chart. It reached the top ten on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, moving four spots from number 11 to number 7 for the week of August 17, 2013. It peaked at number 6 the week after on August 24, 2013. As of April 5, 2014, the song sold 1.4 million downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
