"Your Body Is a Wonderland" is the second single released by John Mayer from his first album 2001 Room for Squares. Its commercial success was greater than Mayer's prior single, "No Such Thing".
The song is notable for its sensuous lyrics and as a result popularized Mayer among young women. A popular misconception is that this song was inspired by his ex-girlfriend the singer/actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, but this cannot be true because he wrote the song in 1998, and he did not meet her until 2002.
In 2003, "Your Body Is a Wonderland" won Mayer the Grammy Award for "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance".
In 2006, the song was used in an episode of U.S. version of The Office entitled "A Benihana Christmas". Characters Michael Scott and Andy Bernard sing the song as a karaoke duet. Mayer agreed to let the show use the song, in exchange for a Dundie.[1]
