Demi Lovato couldn’t hold back her tears during Restless Road‘s emotional performance of “Wake Me Up” on “X Factor” on Wednesday.

For the show’s “unplugged” round, the trio stripped down the Avicii dance track, turning it into a moving country song.

Singer Colton Pack himself started breaking down, prompting Lovato to start crying as the group got a standing ovation.

“You’re making me cry right now, so stop crying,” the singer told Pack through her tears.

She went on, ”You’re not in my category but I’m so proud of you. That was really beautiful. You just earned your place in the [semi-]finals.”

Paulina Rubio told the guys, “You guys need to cry because this is real, this is happening.”

Kelly Rowland called the performance “great,” and pointed out, “Each one of you left your heart right there… You meant every single word.”

Mentor Simon Cowell told the act he put together, “This is what I always hoped you would end up being.

“You’ve come such a long way, and I feel so proud of you. And if that doesn’t get you into the semi-final, there’ something seriously wrong here,” said the music producer, adding, “And you know what else? I would buy that song on iTunes.

Earlier in the show, Restless Road received praise for performing “Red” by Taylor Swift during the “divas” round.
