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.

Pentatonix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well, I found a girl beautiful and sweet
Well, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
Darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a lover, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
We're barefoot on the grass, we're listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight (oh)
The song "Perfect" by Pentatonix is a tender love song that expresses the feeling of finding the perfect person who completes you. The first verse introduces the idea that the singer has finally found love and wants their partner to trust them completely. The chorus echoes this newly found happiness and the desire to hold onto the love they have found. The second verse talks about how the singer has found someone who is not only beautiful and sweet but also shares their dreams and hopes for the future. The couple is still young and trying to navigate the difficulties of being in love, but they are confident that they will make it through to the other side.
The song is full of overwhelming emotion that is conveyed not only through the lyrics but also the melodic bliss of the harmonized voices of the group. When the singer talks about dancing in the dark with their partner, barefoot on the grass, it is easy to imagine a magical moment between two people who are so in sync that everything else fades away into the darkness. The song celebrates both vulnerability and strength, as well as the power of two people coming together to form a stronger bond that can withstand anything.

Well, I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I have found a girl who is stunning and kind-hearted

We had no idea what falling in love felt like
I will not give you up this time
I will not let go of you now or ever

Please kiss me with tenderness and vulnerability, because your love is all I need
And in your eyes you're holding mine
When I look into your eyes, it feels like we are holding each other
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
I am lost in the moment, sharing a slow dance with you
Barefoot on the grass, we're listening to our favorite song
We are enjoying the simplicity of each other's company, listening to a beautiful melody
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
When you criticized your appearance, I quietly reassured you of your beauty
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Despite my quiet voice, you deserved to hear that you look utterly beautiful tonight
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know

Despite the challenges that face us, we are determined to overcome them together
I know we'll be alright this time
I have faith in us and our relationship, and that we will triumph

Simply holding my hand shows me that you are here for me, and all I need is that comfort

I see a happy, hopeful future together when I look into your eyes
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
Seeing you in that dress took my breath away, you looked stunning
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight
I don't feel worthy of your love and beauty, but know that watching you shine tonight feels perfect
I have faith in what I see
I believe our love has potential because I see with eyes beyond my sight
Now I know I have met an angel in person
Being with you makes me feel like I have met a special, heavenly being
And she looks perfect
You truly are perfect to me
I don't deserve this
Your capacity for love is beyond me
You look perfect tonight (oh)
But tonight, you look especially stunning to me

GlamFam Hair & Beauty
I wasn’t sure how I’d feel with Avi gone, but Matt is holding it down! I’m glad the group has been able to progress without any drama or a lack of quality, and I wish all the best for the PTX members both past and present. 😊👍🏽
Kirsten Morris
Matt is a decent bass but he cannot match Avi who's powerful bass blew out speakers nor can he overtone sing like Avi. 😔I miss Avi 😢
Danielle Williams
Yes he is
Shelly McManus

Litia Konusi
i thought no one could replace Avi but dang! Matt is very good too!
EnvixityCODM

lol
can we take a second to appreciate kevin’s cello-boxing?
wendy cattanach
@Litia Konusi I have subscribed 2 all Pentatonic members as well as the group.
I LOVE watching Kevin, as u see him doing a song from scratch. The way you see him record himself, then looping all his sounds in front of you, & by the end, it sound that good, he could do it as a single & nobody would know that he did it in 1 take.
My favorite 1 of his is "Down", as u see him play his cello beautifully, then he sings amazing, & beat boxes & loops it all.
You r right. People forget what Kevin can do with that gorgeous cello, & stunning voice,& that stunning, amazing beat boxing all in 1 song & in 1 take.
HE IS 1 TRUELLY,AMAZING,TALENTED MAN.
Glad we both agree about the beautiful way he plays his cello.
Bye dear friend.xx
