On the ‘Call Her Daddy’ Holiday Special, John Mayer Reveals Who ‘Your Body Is A Wonderland’ Is About.

John Mayer made an appearance on Call Her Daddy for the first-ever holiday special and spilled some major details about his breakout hit “Your Body Is a Wonderland.”

In an episode that aired Tuesday night, host Alex Cooper asked the rocker about his high school experiences (Dec. 20). “I didn’t have a presence,” admitted Mayer. “So I think one of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I’m a jock, you know? I have an alpha, musician jocky vibe to me, and the bottom line is, I went to school to get it over with. And my life began at 3 p.m., when I returned home and began playing guitar.”
Cooper was quick to point out that he won his first Grammy for 2002’s “Your Body Is a Wonderland” just a few years after graduating from high school. Nonetheless, Mayer insisted that, contrary to popular belief, he was not a Hollywood playboy at the time.

“That was about my first girlfriend,” he explained about his second single. “That was about the feeling, which I believe was already nostalgic… “I was 21 years old when I wrote that song, and I was missing being 16.”

“No, that’s one of those things where people just sort of formed that idea, it gets reinforced over the years, no, no, no,” he said when Cooper asked if she always thought the sensual smash was about a certain, unnamed celebrity. When I wrote that song, I had never met a celebrity.”

Mayer will embark on the final Dead & Company tour next year, which will kick off on May 19 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
