John Mayer's new song "Heartbreak Warfare": Is it about Jennifer Aniston?

Tagged:

Johnmayer_l_2John Mayer debuted a new track on his recent "Mayercraft" cruise called "Heartbreak Warfare," and it is now being widely reported (or at least suggested) that the song concerns his relationship with ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston. Me? I’m not so sure. Having spent some time with the dude, it seems like a too-obvious move on his part, and it wouldn’t be the first time a Mayer song has been misinterpreted. There are still a lot of people who believe "Your Body Is A Wonderland" is about another ex-flame named Jennifer — Ms. Love Hewitt. (Note to self: trademark the phrase "Flame-ifer" as soon as possible). But that song was penned long before he started stepping out with the future Ghost Whisperer.

Anyway, take a listen to "Heartbreak Warfare" and tell us what you think.

    That outfit just ruins anything the song might be saying-Gopher wants his uniform back.

  • Elizabeth

    I doubt it, but I hope so. I always had hope they would make it work and have lots of little babies together!

  • Cindy

    Judging from from the outfit, I’d say it was written about Clay Aiken who, by the way, wants his short shorts back.

  • Shawnessy

    I doubt it’s about her specifically, he is too smart for that. I am sure the lyrics come from experience but I think the media is looking for stories. I bet he had fun, and is over it. He gets bored fast, said so himself.

    Also, if anyone has ever read “The Art of Seduction” John Mayer will someday be included in a future revised addition..read it and you’ll know what I mean.

  • Art

    He’s with the Village People now?

  • Jean

    I “use” to enjoy listening to JM’s music, but, after hearing, on e! news, that he “made out with Perez H. So Gross ! Maybe that’s why Jen A. broke it off. Yuck !!!

  • babs

    um… i’d rather cut off my ears than listen to a john mayer song.
    so, uh, i’m thinking no. i won’t.

  • Emily

    I’m excited for the new album, great concept. And no I don’t think this is about Jennifer Aniston. But, John, please put some pants on.

    I listened to it. And I don’t see what all the fuss is about?

  • Leslie

    I loved John when he first arrived on the scene. Loved his hair long. Loved the jeans and sneakers. Loved his humble approach. But now it seems he’s gone Hollywood. I mean, really. What’s up with the sailor suit Dude? That’s just wrong on so many levels.

    Leslie-if you were listening to John when he first entered the scene you’d know his hair was short- he’s been around since 1999…and he really hasn’t changed he’s always been witty comical and creativly a genius

    John M. is sooooo gross looking
    that if he was any person in
    a non-celebrity world, no one would
    look twice at him. YUCK!!!!!
