Selena Gomez poses in a bikini on yacht day with pals

She is bouncing back from her split with childhood sweetheart Justin Bieber.

But Selena Gomez had nothing but positivity in mind when she posted a bikini video accompanied by an empowering message about beauty on Monday.

The 25-year-old pop sensation rocked a skimpy bikini in the clip as she captioned it: ‘I chose to take care of myself because I want to, not to prove anything to anyone.’

Letting loose: Selena Gomez, 25, posted a sassy video hanging with friends on a yacht in Sydney on Monday

Directing addressing her beauty critics, she continued: ‘The beauty myth – an obsession with physical perfection that traps modern woman in an endless cycle of hopelessness, self consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society’s impossible definition of flawless beauty,’ she added.

Daring to impress, the Bad Liar songstress rocks a bathing suit that leaves little to the imagination as the sleepy jam Dreams Tonite by Alvvays plays in background.

Body-confident Selena was filmed on the boat on Monday, and the video sees her surrounded by friends as they enjoyed some relaxation time.

She kept her trademark raven tresses swept up in a messy bun as the loose tendrils cascaded over her petite shoulders.

Her friends played around and hung out on the tip of the vessel as they threw their arms our and hugged each other.

On Monday, the 25-year-old Texan native revealed a prominent scar on her inner her right thigh, obtained during a second emergency procedure that followed her 2017 kidney transplant.

Selena, who underwent a kidney transplant in September last year, first showcased her sizable surgery scar while holidaying in Mexico in December.

Selena’s actress BFF Francia Raisa gave her one of her kidneys last year, during the singer’s battle with lupus.

Laying low: At the end of last summer, Selena revealed that she had undergone a secret life-saving kidney transplant, involving her best friend Francia Raisa (left, pictured in their hospital beds in September)

Though the scar shown on Selena’s leg is believed to be from a second, emergency operation on one of her arteries that immediately followed the transplant.

As it is now understood, Selena was rushed back into surgery to have a vein removed from her right inner thigh to build a new artery to help stabilize the overactive kidney.

Selena’s holiday comes one week after reports surfaced that Selena and Justin had ended their relationship.

Selena and Justin – who dated on and off from 2011 to 2015 – got back together in November and were inseparable until March.

It has been claimed the Hands To Myself hitmaker is ‘taking time to herself’ away from the spotlight in a bid to come to terms with the split and reconcile her relationship with her mother, who was blamed for the break-up.

‘She is taking time to herself,’ a source told ET. ‘This is not the first time she has done this.’

Gomez’s most recent run in ‘the spotlight has been tough — especially with the interest in her personal life with Justin and her mother,’ Mandy Teefey, who has been standoffish regarding her daughter’s reunion with the music superstar, the source said.

‘Selena is very delicate,’ the source said. ‘She wants to repair her relationship with her mother, that’s a priority for her, too.

‘She needs to figure out how to live the life she wants in the spotlight – if that’s even possible.’
