*Lyrics below* [Chorus] Time to lighten up I don't plan to, I don't plan to Time I gave it up I don't plan to, I don't plan to [Verse 1] Every eye is on us Every side is on us Sing it with pride and promise Never cry, never cry But you know we like it honest You know that's why we bought you I like your style and all But do it right, do it in [Chorus] Time to lighten up I don't plan to, I don't plan to Time I gave it up I don't plan to, I don't plan to [Verse 2] I need it, I love it The music, the time it takes For the letter to write back Let it go, let it go 'Cause this is the final product Drink it a while and call us Sell it for dimes and dollars There you go [Chorus] Time to lighten up I don't plan to, I don't plan to Time I gave it up I don't plan to, I don't plan to

They harmonize so well you barely hear that 4 people are singing...

[@rimzbel]

and even in concerts, I've seen them perform live, the harmony is stunning

[@djsoulchild]

That's because the audio recording is properly mixed / corrected in a studio first before they add it to the video. Not saying they're not good, but this is why it sounds so perfect here.

[@chocofro3]

@@djsoulchild You obviously didn't read the comment above yours. Apparently live it is just as amazing.

[@djsoulchild]

@@chocofro3 Ugh, here we go. Yes, i read it. But there's still a huge difference between live and studio in terms of accuracy. This is studio accuracy. I've worked in artist management, have a studio and know quite a bit about audio engineering, so yeah...

[@chocofro3]

@@djsoulchild So does my mom, and I learn stuff from her. But this isn't sound that is added on separately as a layover as you suggested. It could be mixed before they took their places and performed this but it is basically a live performance in these videos.
