For years, we've all been wondering who **John Mayer** was singing about in his hit 2001 song "Your Body is a Wonderland" - and now we know!

Speaking to **Alex Cooper's** [*Call Her Daddy*](https://open.spotify.com/episode/4F3hMI3DxwwNPTcaTxnyid?si=bb53f5057e5241e5&nd=1&ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) podcast, the musician revealed that it wasn't about any of his famous exes at all, but rather his first love in high school:

"That was about my first girlfriend. That was about the feeling, which I think was already sort of nostalgic," he says, choosing not to name her.

"I was 21 when I wrote that song and I was nostalgic for being 16."

Alex responded that she, like many of us, believed the Grammy-winning song was about a celebrity. And giving the timing of its release, there's been a lot of speculation over the years that it may've been about John's ex, actor **Jennifer Love Hewitt.** 

"No, that's one of those things where people just sort of formed that idea. It gets reinforced over the years. No, no, no, I had never met a celebrity when I wrote that song."

And just like that, the 20-year mystery is solved!
