Ребекка Марі Гомез народилася 2 березня , 1997 і виховувалась в Інглвуді, Каліфорнія. Вона донька Александри та Франциско Гомез; у неї мексиканське коріння. У Гомез два брати — Франкі та Алекс, та молодша сестра Стефані. Гомез росла в бідності, і коли дівчинці було 9 років, сім'я переїхала в перероблений гараж в будинку її дідуся та бабусі. Гомез почала працювати в неповний робочий день, щоб допомогти підтримати свою сім'ю, роблячи рекламні ролики та займаючись озвучкою. У неї було, як вона сама описала, 'Криза середнього віку' коли їй було лише 9 років, і вона вирішила що хоче добитися музичної кар'єри. .[3]

She became a member of a girl group named G.L.A.M. in 2009,[4][5] and later joined B.C.G., another girl group.[6] She filmed a music video as part of G.L.A.M. for a song titled «JellyBean» in 2009. During this time, Gomez also began recording herself singing and rapping songs using Garageband, and created a YouTube account to post covers of popular songs online. She also began writing her own songs during this time, and by the age of thirteen had taught herself how to play guitar. Gomez befriended production duo The Jam when she was thirteen, who liked Gomez's written material. The trio began working on material together, resulting in covers of the songs «Otis» (2011), «Lighters» (2011), and «Novacane» (2011). These songs were meant to be part of a mixtape, titled @itsbeckygomez, though this project never came to fruition. Her cover of «Otis» caught the attention of renowned producer Dr. Luke, who had worked with artists including Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus, among others. Luke scheduled a meeting with Gomez, and asked her to play guitar for him; he later signed her to his Kemosabe Records record label, through RCA Records. In reference to her video clip for «Otis», Luke claimed «I would have signed her off that video alone. I was 100 percent in. She has so much personality and her voice just pops out of the speakers. Then I met her and discovered she could also sing and play the guitar and I thought, 'This is even better.' Then I found out she could write and it was like, 'What else are you going to tell me, that you're also Van Gogh?' Her potential is limitless.» Shortly after signing with the label, Gomez began work on her debut album.
