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.

Say Something
Pentatonix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be the one, if you want me too
Anywhere I would have followed you
Say something I'm giving up on you
And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you oh
Anywhere I would have followed you
Say something I'm giving up on you
And I, will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something
Say something
Say something
I'll be the one if you want me too
Say something
Say something
Say something I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one if you want me too
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one if you want me too
Say, say something I'm giving up on you (I'm giving up on you)
Oh whoa
I'll be the one if you want me too
Oh ah
Say something I'm giving up on you
Say something I'm giving up oh whoa
I'll be the one if you want me too
If you want me too ah, if you want me too
Anywhere I would have followed you oh whoa
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Aa huu
Say something I'm giving up on you
Oh
The lyrics to "Say Something" by Pentatonix are a hauntingly beautiful plea from a lover who feels lost and helpless in their relationship. The singer has reached their breaking point and is giving up on trying to fix things. They are asking their partner to say something, anything, to show that they still care and are willing to fight for the relationship. The repetition of the phrase "Say something" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's desperation and need for communication.
The opening lines, "Say something, I'm giving up on you. I'll be the one, if you want me to," suggest that the singer is willing to do anything to save the relationship, even if it means sacrificing their own needs and desires. They have been following their partner's lead, but now realize they must take charge if they want things to change. The lines "Anywhere, I would have followed you" highlight their devotion and willingness to go to great lengths to be with their loved one.
As the song progresses, the singer confesses their vulnerability and admits to knowing very little about love. They stumble and fall as they try to navigate their feelings and figure out the best course of action. The lines "I'm still learning to love, Just starting to crawl" showcase their uncertainty and inexperience.
The chorus is a heartbreaking declaration of defeat, as the singer apologizes for not being able to reach their partner and announces that they are giving up. The lines "I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you, Say something I'm giving up on you" suggest a deep sense of regret and resignation.
Overall, "Say Something" is a poignant reminder of the importance of communication in relationships and how easy it is to drift apart when we don't make an effort to connect with our loved ones.

To this day I’m GRATEFUL that they gave Kirstin the lead of this song. The smartest choice ever, her voice sounds so innocent but also cuts through so perfectly, it hits you in the feels.
