Gomez first announced plans of forming a band in 2008, citing Paramore as an inspiration for the decision.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B_Xg0ClSwQ |title=ep 4 band tryouts |publisher=YouTube |date=2009-09-28 |access-date=2015-02-19}} In an interview with Jocelyn Vena of MTV News, Gomez said: "I'm going to be in a band.

Gomez stated that her label, Hollywood Records, did not want her to have a band due to Gomez already having a "fan base", leading her to name the band Selena Gomez & the Scene to keep both herself and the label happy.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B_Xg0ClSwQ |title=YouTube – ep 4 band tryouts |publisher=Youtube.com |date=2009-09-28 |access-date=2011-09-23}}{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1618671/selena-gomez-names-her-band-scene.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110119021209/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1618671/selena-gomez-names-her-band-scene.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 19, 2011 |title=Selena Gomez Names Her Band The Scene |publisher=MTV |date=2009-08-13 |access-date=2015-02-19}} In an interview with Z100 New York, Gomez stated that the band was formed through a long and exhausting audition process,{{cite web |url=http://www.z100.com/cc-common/mediaplayer/player.html?redir=yes&mps=jj.php&mid=http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/18227/1h/cchannel.download.akamai.com/18227/podcast/NEWYORK-NY/WHTZ-FM/Selena%20int.mp3?CPROG=PCAST?CCOMRRMID&CPROG=RICHMEDIA&MARKET=NEWYORK-NY&NG_FORMAT=chr&NG_ID=whtz100fm&OR_NEWSFORMAT=&OWNER=&SERVER_NAME=www.z100.com&SITE_ID=1793&STATION_ID=WHTZ-FM&TRACK= |title=Media Player |publisher=Z100.com |access-date=2015-02-20 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724062633/http://www.z100.com/cc-common/mediaplayer/player.html?redir=yes&mps=jj.php&mid=http%3A%2F%2Fa1135.g.akamai.net%2Ff%2F1135%2F18227%2F1h%2Fcchannel.download.akamai.com%2F18227%2Fpodcast%2FNEWYORK-NY%2FWHTZ-FM%2FSelena%20int.mp3%3FCPROG%3DPCAST%3FCCOMRRMID&CPROG=RICHMEDIA&MARKET=NEWYORK-NY&NG_FORMAT=chr&NG_ID=whtz100fm&OR_NEWSFORMAT=&OWNER=&SERVER_NAME=www.z100.com&SITE_ID=1793&STATION_ID=WHTZ-FM&TRACK= |archive-date=2011-07-24 }} saying that although she would preferably like "all guys" in the band, she was mainly looking for someone who's "very passionate about music and can show me that they can rock out. I like having people with me to lean on and write with and have fun with."

The band's original line-up featured Gomez on vocals, Ethan Roberts on lead guitar and backing vocals, Greg Garman on drums, Joey Clement on bass guitar, and Nick Foxer on keyboard and backing vocals. Gomez posted a video of the audition and interview process for band members as the fourth episode of a vlog series on her official YouTube channel titled Under Pressure. Shortly after the band was formed, Foxer left for unknown reasons, and was replaced by Dane Forrest.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mtv.co.uk/selena-gomez|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022163412/http://www.mtv.co.uk/artists/selena-gomez-the-scene|url-status=dead|title=Selena Gomez|archive-date=October 22, 2012|website=Mtv.co.uk|access-date=2020-03-28}} During a live performance for UNICEF in 2012, Gomez confirmed that Ethan Roberts would be leaving the group to pursue solo projects, with Gomez wishing him luck.{{cite web|url=http://anythingdiz.livejournal.com/6190809.html?thread=932235225 |title=AnythingDiz - Selena Arriving at the UNICEF Charity Concert |publisher=Anythingdiz.livejournal.com |date=2012-01-21 |access-date=2015-02-19 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160129024730/http://anythingdiz.livejournal.com/6190809.html?thread=932235225 |archive-date=2016-01-29 }} He was replaced with Drew Taubenfeld that same year; unlike Roberts, Taubenfeld does not sing backing vocals.{{cite web|url=http://www.answers.com/topic/selena-gomez |title=Selena Gomez: Information from |publisher=Answers.com |access-date=2015-02-19}} The group has also featured various back-up singers during tours, including YouTube star Christina Grimmie, who toured with Gomez & the Scene in 2010.{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1665684/selena-gomez-christina-grimmie-tour.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110617031443/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1665684/selena-gomez-christina-grimmie-tour.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 17, 2011 |title=Selena Gomez Is 'Doing Well', Says Tour Opener Christina Grimmie |publisher=MTV |date=2011-06-13 |access-date=2015-02-19}}{{cite web|url=http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2011/06/15/selena-gomez-christina-grimmie-style/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110616232610/http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2011/06/15/selena-gomez-christina-grimmie-style/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 16, 2011 |title=Selena Gomez Tourmate Christina Grimmie Is Punk Rock Stylish |publisher=Hollywoodcrush.mtv.com |date=2011-06-15 |access-date=2015-02-19}}
