Hoping to achieve more success in the music scene, Gomez formed the pop-rock band Selena Gomez & the Scene in 2009[52]. The group's name is an ironic reference to people who called Selena "a copycat child of the scene"[53]. In October, the band released their debut studio album, which debuted at number 9 on the Billboard 200 and received mixed reviews from music critics, including criticism of Gomez's vocals[54][55][56][57]. The lead single "Falling Down" was not a commercial success, but the second single, "Naturally", became a hit[58][59]. Thanks to an extensive promotional campaign from Disney and a large number of performances, "Naturally" has grown significantly in sales.
