And the video, released Thursday, is amazing. From the opening shot -- a title screen that misspells the artist as "John Mayor" -- to the clips of Mayer dancing on a mountain with a miniature version of himself, this video has the makings of a quality meme.
"I'm the boy in your other phone," three versions of Mayer croon over a sunset like some kind of 1980's fever dream. "Lighting up inside your drawer at home."
Dressed like your standard art school student showing up to morning classes half an hour late, Mayer visits Paris, the pyramids, and an unnamed freeway. It's premium content.
So what's the story behind the video? Is it a nod to Mark Gormley's 2007 YouTube classic, "Little Wings?" A tribute to Kanye West's "Bound 2," where the fake wind blows Kim Kardashian's hair in the wrong direction?
According to Mayer, nobody could agree on a budget for the music video, so he found a company that usually creates those cheesy birthday and Bar Mitzvah montages and made this masterpiece. It's a testament to green screen magic.
