2008-2009

During the 2008-2009 period, the band was formed, primarily in 2009.

During 2008, Selena Gomez said about her future music career, "I'm going to be in a band. I'm not going to be a solo artist...I don't want my name attached to it. I will be singing..." . Selena later announced via Twitter that the band would be "The Scene," a clever jab at the "wannabe scene." though it was later changed to "Selena Gomez & The Scene" due to issues with Hollywood Records, with which she would record her albums with. Due to this, the band is sometimes credited as just Selena Gomez.

Selena said that the band was formed through a "long, exhausting audition process," though it was really "worth it," having formed a great band.
