She rose to fame appearing on the Disney Channel in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Hannah Montana.

In a new interview with Teen Vogue, the star talked about being rebellious and learning to deal with both good and bad situations.

And while her new single may be named Come & Get It, the Mexican star admitted that she is not always the rebel her lyrics might suggest.
'I'm always going to be the girl you want to take home to your parents, not for the night,' Selena told Teen Vogue in the issue out on November 19.
'The older I've gotten, the more I've learned that I have to open myself up to all opportunities. Maybe I'll get burned and not meet the right people, but I won't know until I do it.'
She said she is currently doing whatever what feels most 'human and normal,' following the singer's split from her long-term ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber earlier this year.
Since then she has been avoiding speaking about rumours of reconciliation with the Canadian singer, and some reports of new flames.
'You fall in love and it completely consumes you,' she said.

'So a part of you is broken when that's gone. And part of you wants to have that rebellious feeling where you're just like, forget it-I can do anything I want. I've tried it, and I've never been that girl. I'm always going to be the girl you want to take home to your parents, not for the night.
'My attention span is all over the place, and I overthink things,' Gomez said. 'I'm an insomniac. Dancing allows me to go away and not have to think of what I'm doing next. That is the opportunity for me to really escape.'
And while she refuses to talk about her love life, she admitted to learning how to accept bad and good situations as learning experiences.
