Ariana Grande's 'Problem' Gets A Capella Treatment From Pentatonix [WATCH]

Yesterday, a cappella group Pentatonix shared the music video for its cover of Ariana Grande's super hit "Problem," which you can check out below. The song will be included on the group's next EP PTX, Vol. III, which is set for release on Sept. 23.

This new music video for "Problem" is actually Pentatonix's 18th overall, which is pretty impressive considering that the group has only been around for three years. Pentatonix first rose to prominence in 2011 after winning the third season of the NBC singing competition The Sing Off, and released its debut EP PTX Volume 1 in 2012. The group followed this up with a Christmas EP the same year, and then another EP, PTX, Vol. II in 2013, which is its most recent release. In addition to releasing PTX, Vol. III next month, Pentatonix will also be releasing a Christmas album on Oct. 21 titled That's Christmas To Me.

"Problem" is far from the first pop song that Pentatonix has covered. The group has also covered Pharrell Williams' "Happy," Lorde's "Royals," Justin Timberlake's "Pusher Love Girl," and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop," among many others. While most of their songs are covers, they do have a few originals, such as "Love Again," which they also made a music video for.

What does Grande think of Pentatonix's version of her song? Well, she seems pretty thrilled about it. Here's what she had to say on Twitter yesterday:
