Selena Gomez Trivia: The Band Years and Beyond

The facts behind the hits break a tie: a first name borrowed from Selena Quintanilla, a first number one that took a decade to arrive, and a run of early hits credited to a band, not to her.

✦Selena Gomez was named after the Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla, and her full name is Selena Marie Gomez, born in Grand Prairie, Texas, in 1992.

✦Her early hits like 'Naturally' and 'Love You Like a Love Song' were released under the band name Selena Gomez & the Scene, which recorded three albums between 2009 and 2011.

✦She played Alex Russo on Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place from 2007 to 2012, after getting her start as a child on Barney & Friends.

✦'Lose You to Love Me' became her first Billboard Hot 100 number one in 2019, more than a decade after her music career began.

✦Beyond music she founded the makeup brand Rare Beauty and stars in the comedy Only Murders in the Building alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short.

How Well Do You Know Selena Gomez's Eras?

Selena Gomez's songs fall into two piles that share a name: the Scene band years and her solo run. Clear the solo hits, then test yourself on which tracks actually belong to the band.

The solo hits everyone knows (the opener)

Start with the songs credited straight to Selena Gomez: 'Come & Get It', 'Good for You', 'Hands to Myself', 'Lose You to Love Me' and 'Calm Down'. These are the gimmes, the run most players clear before the quiz reaches back to the band years.

The Selena Gomez & the Scene years (the great trap)

Here is where the quiz bites. 'Naturally', 'Round & Round', 'Who Says' and 'Love You Like a Love Song' are not solo tracks, they are Selena Gomez & the Scene, the band she fronted through 2012. Knowing the song is easy, knowing the billing is the hard part.

Solo era or Scene era? (the sorting round)

The real separator is placing a clip in time. The Scene sounds like Disney-era teen-pop; solo Selena leans moody and hushed, from 'The Heart Wants What It Wants' to 'Rare'. Same singer, a whole era apart in feel, so the mood tells you which catalog it is.

The deep cuts and collabs (the closers)

The last points hide off the singles: 'Kill Em with Kindness', 'Fetish', 'Vulnerable' and the Spanish-language single 'De Una Vez' from her 2021 EP, plus features like 'It Ain't Me' with Kygo. Place one from a short clip and you have gone past most players.

Play the Selena Gomez quiz and see. Guess the song from a short clip, then decide whether it is solo Selena or Selena Gomez & the Scene. That band-or-solo call is where most players slip.

Which Selena Gomez songs are in the quiz?

The solo hits 'Come & Get It', 'Good for You', 'Lose You to Love Me' and 'Calm Down', plus the Selena Gomez & the Scene tracks 'Naturally' and 'Love You Like a Love Song' that fool people.

What is Selena Gomez & the Scene?

It was the band Selena Gomez fronted from 2009 to 2012, with three albums and hits like 'Naturally' and 'Who Says'. In the quiz those tracks are credited to the band, not to solo Selena, which is exactly the trap.
