"Who Says" is an easygoing,melancholy,bittersweet song from singer-songwriter John Mayer. It's surprisingly good,considering its lack of sap. It's a thoughtful meditation on life,and not caring what other people think. While the original song has the word "high",the radio edit omits it,recalling how Ed Sullivan tried to censor the word "higher" from the Doors' "Light my fire." (The Lizard King sang it anyhow) Mayer might be coming back into his own as a singer-songwriter. Who says his music can't improve?

this song really is perfect, yes the lyrics talk about smoking weed and that will upset people but the song is more about doing whatever you want and not letting people control your life. I love it. John is in stellar form

This song feels like a cross between Paul Simon and James Taylor. Lyrically it has the the feel of a Paul Simon song and the finger picking feels like Taylor. If you like JM's earlier acoustic stuff you'll probably enjoy this. Personally I prefer the Trio stuff and the funkier feel on Continuum and Nokia.

When it has came down to John Mayer, he has been more recently known for his dating Jennifer Anniston and his use of Twitter than his music. Unfortunately for his latest single, it really is a much more somber John Mayer, than the kind of feeling he has brought out since he broke out into the spotlight nearly a decade ago. His latest single Who Says isn't really a strong single from John as was the case with his previous singles, Waiting On The World To Change and the strength he had showed on Say from the movie The Bucket List. His latest single, Who Says is a very weak and somber song from John that honestly isn't really the best in his voice as we had known from the guitar virtuoso. It feels like he is bringing back the feeling of what Daughters had brought out almost 6 years ago. It isn't a bad song, but could've had more from John in his performance. I do hope his upcoming album can bring in more of a promise.
