The band has won numerous awards and accolades since their debut. They have won a total of four Poptastic Awards, including the Best Duo or Group Award. The band has also been nominated for five awards at the MuchMusic Video Awards, and two MTV Europe Music Awards. In 2011, the band won its first People's Choice Award for Breakout Group.

The band has also won a total of six Teen Choice Awards since 2010, including Choice Music: Group and Choice Music: Love Song for "Love You like a Love Song".
Gomez first announced plans of forming a band in 2008, citing Paramore as an inspiration for the decision. In an interview with Jocelyn Vena of MTV News, Gomez said: "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..." Gomez later announced on Twitter that her band would be called The Scene, an "ironic jab" at people who called Gomez a "wannabe scene". 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. In an interview with Z100 New York, Gomez stated that the band was formed through a long and exhausting audition process, 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. 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. He was replaced with Drew Taubenfeld that same year; unlike Roberts, Taubenfeld does not sing backing vocals. The group has also featured various back-up singers during tours, including YouTube star Christina Grimmie, who toured with Gomez & the Scene in 2010.
The band's debut studio album, Kiss & Tell, was released on September 29, 2009. It includes collaborations with writers and producers such as Gina Schock of the Go-Go's and Rock Mafia. Predominantly a pop rock album, Kiss & Tell also incorporates a combination of other styles, including dance music. Being compared to releases by fellow Disney stars Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato, the album was met with mixed reception, with some critics praising the album for its "fun" nature, and others criticizing Gomez's vocal performance. Kiss & Tell debuted at number 9 on the Billboard 200 in the US. It was later certified Gold in the country for sales exceeding 500,000 copies. It was successful in other territories as well, entering the Top 10 in Greece and Poland, as well as entering the Top 20 in the United Kingdom. To promote the album, Gomez & the Scene made numerous televised performances on shows such as season nine of Dancing with the Stars, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest among other shows. The band also promoted the album with the concert tour, Selena Gomez & the Scene: Live in Concert. The band also contributed to Disney's All Wrapped Up Vol. 2. The EP includes the band's cover of "Winter Wonderland" as well as Christmas covers by other successful artists.
