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.

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.

Pentatonix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, don't we look good together?
There's a reason that they watch all night long (all night long)
Yeah, know we'll turn heads forever
So tonight I'm gonna show you off
When I'm walkin' with you (when I'm walkin' with you)
Baby, that's what you do (baby, that's what you do)
No, my baby, don't play
Blame it on my confidence
Or blame it on your measurements
Shut that thing down on sight
That's right
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it
Now slow it down for me baby (slow it down)
'Cause I love the way it feels when we grind (when we grind)
Yeah, our connection's so magnetic on the floor
Nothing can stop us tonight
When I'm walkin' with you (when I'm walkin' with you)
I watch the whole room change (I watch the whole room change)
Baby, that's what you do (baby, that's what you do)

Or blame it on your measurements
Shut that thing down on sight

We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
