“Dear Ben,” Jennifer began her Aug. 20 Instagram tribute, teasing the lyrics from her upcoming song. “Sitting here alone / Looking at my ring ring / Feeling overwhelmed / It makes me wanna sing sing / How did we end up here / Without a rewind / Oh my / This is my life…”

“I did an album 20 years ago that obviously had a song called ‘Dear Ben’ on it that was about the time that me and Ben were together then,” Jennifer—who was previously engaged to the Argo actor in the early aughts—said on a January episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “And I got very inspired when we got back together. It was kinda like a miracle and something that neither one of us really ever thought would happen.”
