The Far East Movement is an Asian American Hip-Hop group formed in 2003 in Los Angeles, California, consisting of Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif, and DJ Virman. In February 2010, they signed a major record deal with Cherrytree Records, a subsidiary of Interscope Records. Later in the year the group supported Robyn and Kelis on their double headlining tour and were the opening act for Lady Gaga on the Japanese leg of The Monster Ball Tour. After signing with Interscope subsidiary Cherrytree Records in February 2010, they released this single, which became their first hit on the Hot 100, and the first ever #1 by an Asian American on that chart.
The song features the vocals of Californian singer Dev. Electro-pop duo The Cataracs, who consist of David "Campa" Benjamin Singer-Vine and Niles "Cyrano" Hollowell-Dhar produced the track.
The Free Wired album title is named after the 'Free Wired,' movement coined by the quartet, which represents everything they do from fashion to technology in addition to describing the music that blends elements of hip-hop, electro and dance. Kev Nish explained: "'Free Wired' is about 'geekin out' however you feel most comfortable. Whether it's partying at the club, at home online, dressing a certain way, enjoying a certain activity, whatever. To live free and stay connected 25 hours a day, 8 days a week is where it stems."
