Jennifer Lopez gushed that she is “better” and “stronger” after her divorce from ex-husband Ben Affleck while performing her unreleased song “Wreckage of You” for the first time during a concert in Spain.

A concertgoer who attended J. Lo’s “Up All Night Tour” shared a clip of the A-lister, 55, performing the ballad via Instagram on Tuesday, July 8.

“This is a song, that is a new song, that I want to sing for the first time tonight,” the “On the Floor” artist said on stage. “That came to me when I was up all night, one night.”

Jennifer, who donned a curve-hugging, sheer bodysuit with red embellishments, sat next to her pianist before singing the tune.

In the song, J. Lo sang that she realized she is “better” and thanked her former lover for leaving “scars on [her] heart.”

“Was showing me that stars shine brighter in the dark,” she sang. “I won’t fall apart because of who we are, but your broken parts.”

J. Lo continued, “Because of you, I am stronger, wiser, better than I’ve ever been. I will no longer let you have a sacred part of me.”

Fans shared their thoughts on the song in the comments section of the post and believed that the slow tune was about Ben, 52. Jennifer filed for divorce from the Deep Water actor in August 2024 after two years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in January.

“Awwwww. This is about Ben Affleck,” one fan commented.

A second person wrote, “I love it. I'm so glad to see her make it to the other side.”

Jennifer opened up about her divorce from her former Gigli costar in May during an interview with El País.

“I’m happier that I’m a step further along than I was a year ago, two years ago, three years ago,” the Monster In Law actress told the outlet at the time. “I’m proud of myself for that and I’m proud that I was able to navigate my children [Emme Muniz and Max Muniz] through difficult times, that they’re stronger and better because of it.”
