Rebbeca Marie Gomez [1] [2] was born on March 2, 1997, [2] in Inglewood, California, [3] the oldest of four children, to American parents of Mexican descent, Francisco "Frank" Gómez and Alejandra "Alex" Gomez (née Esquivias). [1] [5] All four of her grandparents are from Jalisco, Mexico, while her parents and most of her family were born in the United States. [6] Gomez has two brothers and a younger sister. [7] In December 2017, she revealed she has a half-sister from her father's side. [8] Gomez grew up in Moreno Valley, and at the age of nine her family lost their home and moved into the converted garage of her grandparents' house due to financial problems. [1] Gomez began working part-time jobs to help support her family, doing commercials and voice over work. [1] She had what she described as a "mid-life crisis" when she was nine years old, and decided she wanted to pursue a music career. [1] She was quoted as stating:
That was literally my mid-life crisis when I was nine years old. That's when I felt like, 'OK, I gotta get my life together. What am I gonna do?' I pushed that on myself at a younger age than the average kid because at the time my family had lost our home. I've always been more mature for my age, so I was already understanding what they were going through. And I just thought, 'How can I help them?' [4]
She initially attended public school, though had to undergo home schooling due to issues with bullying. [4] She claimed that at one point she was jumped by multiple girls while in the restroom, and was a frequent target due to her jobs in the entertainment industry. [9]

[1] [14] 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. [9] 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."
