On July 2, Jennifer Lopez held a secret listening partying Los Angeles and one particular new song is raising eyebrows because it might have a Ben Affleck reference.
A fan who attended the event revealed to Us Weekly that out of the six songs she played, 'Wreckage of You' stood out among the rest. The singles are expected to be a part of her upcoming tour and Las Vegas residency.

''Wreckage of You' is a pop ballad that she told us she co-wrote and recorded two weeks ago,' supporter Edgardo Luis Rivera told the media outlet. Lopez told her fans that it was a 'very difficult time for her both personally and professionally,' and the last year taught her to 'really focus on herself.' Now that she's feeling 'better and stronger than ever,' the 55-year-old superstar 'wanted to write a song about coming out of a bad situation much stronger.'
Rivera added, '[Lopez] kept thinking of the word 'wreck' because it means destruction, but she wasn't destroyed. In fact, the lyrics of the song are, 'I'm stronger after the wreckage of you.'' That sure sounds like a reference to her two-year marriage to Affleck, but Lainey Gossip noted Lopez's curious choice of words — it was reminiscent of Affleck's first wife, Jennifer Garner.
In February 2016, Garner shared the dark side of being married to a movie star in a very famous Vanity Fair interview. 'He's the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous,' she told the publication. 'He's just a complicated guy. I always say, 'When his sun shines on you, you feel it.' But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it's cold. He can cast quite a shadow.'
The 13 Going on 30 actress didn't stop there, though; she went on to make fun of his massive tattoo of a rising phoenix inked on his back during their divorce.
'You know what we would say in my hometown about that? 'Bless his heart.' A phoenix rising from the ashes. Am I the ashes in this scenario?' Garner said cheekily. 'I take umbrage. I refuse to be the ashes.'
It's almost as if Lopez went back and read Garner's words from almost a decade ago — 'wreckage' and 'ashes' sure sound similar in this situation. The common denominator in this relationship scenario just happens to be Affleck, and both women have stated their case.Best of SheKnows
