Pentatonix formed in 2011 and came to prominence the same year by winning the third season of "The Sing-Off" on NBC, their victory earning them $200,000 and a recording contract with Sony. Their debut EP "PTX, Volume 1" was released in 2012, followed by "PTXmas" the same year, with their third release "PTX, Vol. II", debuting at number 1 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart in 2013. 2014 saw the release of "PTX, Vol. III", and their two first full-length albums "PTX, Vols. 1 & 2" (a compilation of Vol. 1 and Vol. II) and "That's Christmas to Me". Their second holiday release, That's Christmas to Me, with the album certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), platinum on December 24, 2014, and double platinum on February 11, 2016, becoming the highest-charting holiday album by a group since 1962, and the fourth-best-selling album in the United States in 2014. The following year, Pentatonix released their album, their first consisting mostly of original material, which debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart for the first time in their career, followed by a third Christmas album, A Pentatonix Christmas, in 2016, and a new EP, PTX, Vol. IV – Classics, the following year. In May 2017, Kaplan announced that he would leave Pentatonix due to his inability to keep up with the touring demands of the group; he left after the completion of the tour in September, and was replaced by Matt Sallee the following month.
Pentatonix has won three Grammy Awards: they were the first a cappella act to win Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella, doing so in 2015 and 2016, and Best Country Duo/Group Performance in 2017.
Pentatonix started their popular YouTube channel back in 2012 to promote themselves after the Sing-Off (Season 3, 2011) when they were dropped by their record label, according to a recent November 2014 interview. They also made effective use of social media to interact with their fan base. They have eclipsed almost 15 million subscribers and more than 2.7 billion cumulative views. Their music video for "Daft Punk" recently surpassed 273 million views.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throwin' that dirt all on my name
'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd
Call you up, baby
You've been going 'round, going 'round, going 'round
Every party in LA
'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd
Be at one
I know that dress is karma, perfume regret
You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine (thinking about when you were mine)
And now I'm all up on ya, what you expect?
But you're not coming home with me tonight
You just want attention, you don't want my heart
Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new
Yeah, you just want attention, I knew from the start
You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa
Runnin' 'round, runnin' 'round, runnin' 'round
Throwin' that dirt all on my name
'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd

The lyrics of Pentatonix’s song “Attention” tell the story of a past relationship where the ex-girlfriend is seeking attention from her ex-boyfriend. She attends all the parties he might be at, tries to make him jealous, and wants him to notice her. The singer knows that this is all a game for her and that she only wants attention, not reconciliation. He knows that she is throwing dirt on his name and wants him to call her up. He also knows that she is not interested in a real relationship, just in the attention that comes with it. He is not willing to fall for her tricks and be used for her amusement.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of how the ex-girlfriend just wants attention and not his heart, and that he will never get over her if she keeps playing these games. He knows all her moves, and he won’t fall for them. The singer keeps reiterating that she is just making sure he never gets over her and that he won't allow her to break his heart again.
Overall, “Attention” is a cautionary tale of someone who is still in love with their ex but knows that their ex is only using them for attention. They are not willing to be played anymore and will not be manipulated. The song is a warning against the dangers of letting an ex get too close, especially when they don't have genuine intentions.
