Selena Gomez got her start as an actress appearing on Barney & Friends as Gianna, then went on to guest star on popular Disney Channel series - including The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and Hannah Montana. These two guest roles were critical in landing Gomez the role of Alex in Disney’s 2007 new comedy series, Wizards of Waverly Place, ultimately giving Gomez the framework to launch into the successful career she has today.
Selena Gomez quickly won over the hearts of fans, charming young boys and girls with her cute, sarcastic, and witty personality on the new popular show. The series continued to be successful until it’s final fourth season, where the show concluded for good. However, after four seasons and two widely popular films, Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie and The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex, Gomez was ready into the world of feature films and music.
Gomez has most recently appeared in Spring Breakers, a film that follows four teens getting into trouble during spring break, but the celebrity has most recently been focusing the majority of her time on her music.
She released three albums with her band, Selena Gomez and the Scene – including Kiss & Tell, A Year Without Rain and When the Sun Goes Down - and most recently released her debut solo album, Stars Dance.
In honor of Gomez’s success, here are the top 10 most underrated Selena Gomez songs!

6. “Bang Bang Bang”
Another track off of When the Sun Goes Down, named “Bang Bang Bang,” is a catchy tune that happens to be written about Gomez’s love life!
Selena confessed on her YouTube Channel, “I rewrote some of the lyrics to tweak it so it was perfectly about my life. It’s one of those songs that’s a dis and a compliment. It’s basically saying in a past relationship, that you may not have been treated properly and you kind of don’t really like that person, but there’s a new person in your life who makes you feel like you’re the only person in the world that matters. So it’s a sweet song… and a dis. But it’s really fun.”
