Becky G was born in Inglewood, Calif., to Mexican parents Alex and Frank Gomez. Growing up, Becky G said her parents had struggled financially to the point where their family of five had to sleep in her grandparents garage, via ABC News. However, she was grateful for her parents' encouragement to pursue a career in Hollywood. "My parents are so cool, so chill, super hip. They know what's up," Becky G told the outlet in 2014. "So you know, when I've got an outfit and it's not too cute and I'm not digging it, my mom's got my back."

Growing up as a second-generation American, Becky G was proud of her Mexican heritage because her grandparents' sacrifices meant that she could live the American dream, via Rolling Stone. "The American dream of my grandparents ... was just wanting a better life for their families, a better education, better job opportunities, a safer way of living," said Gomez in a video detailing what drove her to vote in the November 2016 elections. "Me being second-generation American, knowing that so much sacrifice has got into me being able to just go to school, or being able to walk out and not have to worry about being deported somewhere."
