Three-time Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum-selling artist Pentatonix release their arrangement of Tears for Fears' "Mad World." Coinciding with the release, Pentatonix also dropped a hauntingly stark music video for the track this morning.

"Happy Now" has garnered over 1.7M streams to date and was produced by Johan Carlsson (Ariana Grande, One Direction), Sean Myer (Selena Gomez, Meghan Trainor) and Ojivolta (Selena Gomez, Christina Aguilera) and co-produced by Pentatonix and Ben Bram.
