Selena Gomez is taking it off ... for a good cause! Just kidding -- it's only for the cover of the latest issue of V magazine.

Justin Bieber's ex girlfriend (for now) Instagramed the topless snap, along with the caption, "It's here! Stay tuned to @vmagazine for moreeee next month!"

For the shoot, Gomez rocked some seriously voluminous curls and some oh-so-tiny booty shorts. Other photos from the mag feature the brunette in The racy issue comes out February 26.

The "Come and Get It" singer has been a busy bee as of late. She's dried her tears over the Biebs and started making music and dating again. The 22-year-old has been hitting the studio with her rumored new man, DJ Zedd, for months. The potential new duo have been Instagraming flirty spans and Gomez even referred to him as her "Harry to My Sally." On Friday, the spicy singer posted some cover art for their new collab, "I Want You To Know," which drops on Feb. 23.
