Jennifer Lopez has opened up about her difficult divorce from Ben Affleck in her new song "Wreckage of You," which she performed at a private listening party in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The ballad, which Lopez co-wrote and recorded just two weeks ago, reflects on her emotional journey after the end of her short-lived marriage to the actor.

According to Edgardo Luis Rivera, an attendee at the event, Lopez revealed that she wrote the song during a particularly tough period in her life. "She said last year was very difficult for her both personally and professionally," Rivera told Us Weekly. "She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself." The singer added that while the song is about coming out stronger from a challenging situation, it also represents the personal growth she has experienced since the split.

The lyrics of "Wreckage of You" include the empowering line, "I’m stronger after the wreckage of you," which reflects Lopez’s resilience after her emotional upheaval. The song, described as both emotional and empowering, speaks to the experience of walking away from a relationship and emerging stronger.

In addition to "Wreckage of You," Lopez performed five other upbeat tracks, including “Up All Night,” “Regular,” “Free,” “Save Me Tonight,” and “Birthday.” While the other songs were lively and energetic, "Wreckage of You" stood out for its raw emotion.

Lopez’s divorce from Affleck, finalized in January 2025, marked the end of a two-year marriage. Since the split, Lopez has been focusing on herself, with sources indicating that she is open to dating again and ready to move forward in her personal life.
