"Like a G6" is a 2010 song written and performed by Far East Movement, The Cataracs, and Dev, with the latter two being credited as featured artists. 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.

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 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.
