when did selena gomez first appear on tv
Selena Gomez Gomez first gained an interest in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry watching her mother prepare for stage productions.[24] She began auditioning for various roles, meeting Demi Lovato during an audition for Barney & Friends.[25][26] Both Gomez and Lovato were later selected to appear on the series in 2002,[27][28] with Gomez portraying the character of Gianna.[29] The show was her first experience in acting, with Gomez recalling, "I was very shy when I was little [...] I didn't know what 'camera right' was. I didn't know what blocking was. I learned everything from Barney."[30] Gomez appeared in thirteen episodes of the show between 2002 and 2004, though the show's producers released her as she was getting "too old" for the series.[31] While working on the series, Gomez had a cameo role in the film Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003) and the made-for-television film Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire (2005).[32] Gomez made a guest appearance in a 2006 episode of the Disney series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.[33]
Back to You (Selena Gomez song) "Back to You" was written by Selena Gomez, Parrish Warrington, Diederik Van Elsas, Amy Allen, and Micah Premnath. The production was handled by Trackside and Ian Kirkpatrick, the latter also working on Gomez's previous single "Bad Liar".[5] The track has been described as an emotional[5][6] acoustic midtempo[7] with country influences,[6] being also called a "dance-pop anthem"[5][1] ballad.[7] Gomez said that it was a "very special record" and that she wanted it to be "a beautiful message in a really complicated way but really fun".[7]
