Jennifer Lopez is moving on — with new music!
The Waiting For Tonight singer held a top-secret listening party for her fans in El Lay on Wednesday, and according to a new report out in Us Weekly, she used that opportunity to debut SIX new songs. But even more notably than that new music alert alone is this little tidbit: one of the six songs was about her breakup from Ben Affleck! Whoa!!!

Per that outlet, the 55-year-old crooner played five tracks that were described as upbeat during the Los Angeles-based listening party: Up All Night, Regular, Free, Birthday, and Save Me Tonight.
But there was a sixth song called Wreckage Of You in the mix there, too! And that was ALL about the Good Will Hunting star… in a decidedly un-upbeat way!
Attendee Edgardo Luis Rivera spoke to the mag about the musical reveal, saying:
“Wreckage of You is a pop ballad that she told us she cowrote and recorded two weeks ago. She said she was lying in bed after a long day of tour rehearsals when the idea of the song came to her.”
Inspiration strikes in the strangest places! But here is where the going gets good. According to Rivera, the song was inspired by some tough stuff (AKA, the Ben divorce) that Lopez was struggling through during her life last year:
“She mentioned how last year was a very difficult time for her both personally and professionally. She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself. Fast-forward to one year later, and she feels better and stronger than ever, so she wanted to write a song about coming out of a bad situation much stronger.”
According to Rivera, Lopez said to her listening party audience that she “kept thinking of the word ‘wreck’ because it means destruction, but she wasn’t destroyed.” The eagle-eared attendee concluded:
“In fact, the lyrics of the song are, ‘I’m stronger after the wreckage of you.’”
A second partygoer co-signed Rivera’s thoughts and memories, too! That unnamed person told the outlet that Wreckage Of You was a “very emotional, empowering song about walking away from a relationship and coming out a stronger person.”
Uhhh, yeah, it’s totally about Ben!!!

As for the other five songs, that second person said they are “fun, more Jennifer of old in terms of music style.” And everybody in the room supposedly went especially nuts when Birthday was played. Interesting!!! The attendee concluded:
“They’re really good songs. They’ve got a real vibe to them.”
We love a vibe!
BTW, during the listening party, Jen also gave her lucky attendees tickets to her forthcoming New Year’s Eve show in Las Vegas, and gifted all of ’em with swag bags that included signed posters and JLo Beauty products. Nice!
But… when can we hear these new songs?!?! Well, Rivera told Us that the Grammy nominee admitted during the listening party that she “didn’t know yet how or if she would release them.” Well, s**t! We hope she ends up releasing them… and soon!
Thoughts, y’all?! Share ’em (below)!
