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.

Yeah
Tell me am I going crazy? (Uh huh)
Tell me have I lost my mind? (Yeah)
Am I just afraid of lovin'? (Uh huh)
Or am I not the lovin' kind? (Yeah)
Kissin' in the moonlight
Gettin' old
(Uh huh)
I've been there, done that
Supposed to be hot
But it's just cold
(Yeah)
Somebody wake up my heart
Light me up
Set fire to my soul, yeah (Uh huh)
'Cause' I can't do it anymore (Yeah)
Gimme that can't sleep love
(Gimme that can't sleep)
I want that can't sleep love
(Gimme that can't sleep)
The kind I dream about all day
The kind that keeps me up all night
Gimme that can't sleep love
(Yeah)
Maybe I'm too picky, honey (Uh huh)
But I'm not in the world you're in (hah, hah, hah)
I'm not in it for the money, ooh

Kissin' in the moonlight
Movies on a late night
Gettin' old, yeah

I've been there, done that
Supposed to be hot
But it's just cold

Somebody wake up my heart

The song "Can't Sleep Love" by a cappella group Pentatonix explores the singer's search for genuine love. The lyrics begin by questioning the state of their emotional well-being, asking if they have lost their mind or if they are unable to love, emphasizing the singer's confusion and vulnerability. They then shift to memories of past relationships, with the singer expressing a sense of fatigue from going through the motions of love, kissing in the moonlight and watching movies on a late night. This creates a sense of disillusionment with the modern definition of romance and the exhaustion of the heart.
The chorus then follows, with the singer yearning for a type of love that they can't ignore or escape from, the kind that keeps them up at night and consumes their thoughts during the day. The verses repeat the theme of frustration and disillusionment in modern relationships, suggesting that the singer is looking for something deeper than just a fleeting connection based on passion or convenience. The song ends with the singer insisting on finding that deep connection, as they're tired of dreaming and want to give and receive true love.

I love Pentatonix!!!!!
I’ve been following them since the Sing-Off.
I just knew that they would skyrocketed to fame and stardom because they can actually sing.
Mitch has that beautiful high tenor.
Kirstin has that glorious mezzo-soprano.
Scott has that soulful baritone.
Kevin keeps the beat going,
but he also can sing,and has a nice tenor voice.
Avi had that booming bass,
and now Matt has the booming bass.
They’re just a great group.
They give me hope in this music industry.

Why is my favorite parts of the song when Mitch says "yeah" and when Scott says "uh-huh?"
