for two weeks ending November 6, 2010, and then again for the week of
November 27 of the same year. It is one of only eight singles in

Many questions surround the meaning of "G6." Some believed it to be a reference to the Pontiac G6,[1] however, Kev Nish clarified that the G6 reference is to an airplane, a Gulfstream IV
(G4) hyperbole. "A G6 is not a Gatorade flavour. It's not a car,
convertible, four-door. It's not a watch," group member Kev Nish told
MTV News. "But Drake, Drake talks about having G4 pilots on deck, so we
said, 'What's flyer than a G4?' Of course, it would be a G6." Writer and producer Niles Hollowell-Dhar revealed that the reference to G6 was created primarily in order to rhyme.[2] It samples Dev's single "Booty Bounce" as the hook/chorus.
