Jennifer Lopez released an extended edit of her Rebound music video on Wednesday.
The song is from the 54-year-old entertainer’s elaborate This Is Me… Now project, which has three parts.
The visualizer was directed by Dave Meyers and portrays dramatic scenes of violence inspired by the New York native’s past abusive relationship.
According to ET, it was Lopez’s husband Ben Affleck who inspired by her to transmute her pain into art.
The video, which was filmed in Jennifer’s home studio, toggles between passion and torment as a couple acts out choreographed sequences blending dance and destruction.

Rebound, a blend of R&B and pop, was co-written and produced by Lopez, Rogét Chahayed, and Jeff ‘Gitty’ Gitelman.
In the video, Jennifer dons distressed jeans and a white tank top as she confronts an unhealthy relationship.
Her honey-blonde locks are long and tousled, with shaggy bangs framing her face — which later is speckled with bleeding cuts.
It comes after JLo recently told ET that This Is Me… Now could be her last musical effort.
‘The truth is I don’t even know if I’ll ever make another album after this.
‘It’s such the kind of quintessential kind of Jennifer Lopez/J.Lo project and I really feel very fulfilled, so they really will be collector’s items at a certain point,’ she explained.
Then she quipped, ‘Don’t tell Benny [Medina] that that’s what I’m thinking — this might be my last album ever,’ referencing her beloved, longtime manager.
The pop star is said to be ‘thrilled’ about how well her new release, which is streaming exclusively on Prime Video, is doing.

‘She is thrilled that both the album and movie are doing so well,’ a source told DailyMail.com. ‘She had a feeling her fans would react in a positive way to This Is Me… Now because it is so personal. It is her vision and a show of her creative freedom.’
A few of her new songs that have begun to chart, in addition to Rebound, include This Me… Now, Not. Going. Anywhere., and Can’t Get Enough.
Her documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told will follow on February 27.
The source also told DailyMail.com that Jennifer feels fabulous that she is able to create what she wants on her terms.
‘Throughout her career she’s been criticized for a lot of her career or that she needed to stay within a certain box, and she hasn’t been able to truly be allowed creative freedom which is why this project was so incredibly important to her,’ said the friend.
‘It might take a little bit for people to understand her vision because it has never been done before but the documentary will explain even more,’ it was added.
This Is Me… Now is her fourth number one streamed film followed by Marry Me (on Peacock), Shotgun Wedding (on Amazon Prime), and The Mother (on Netflix).
