About this song: Who Says

Mayer admitted to MTV News that Who Says' controversial opening line, "sort of plays with your perception a little bit, and it starts out and you go, 'Oh, is he being campy?'" He added: "But if you stay with the song long enough, then you start to realize it's not about marijuana. It's actually about freedom and living your life." (Source Songfacts).
