Taylor's planned debut album was called From a Planet Called Harlem.
She is a member of a band called U.G.L.Y. along with band mates Mijo, Braxton and Ethan. A snippet of U.G.L.Y.'s single "Wasted" was released early 2010.

I like it
Turn it up (turn it up)
Ooh-ooh
Come back to me, come back to me
Never want a slow drag (oh)
All I want is more cash (ooh)
Until I get a toe-tag (ah, ooh)
Ever had your heart broken? (Yeah)
Felt like you got your car stolen
Felt like you got your chains snatched (oh)
Baby, bring that thing back
Her mom's had the Volvo (ooh)
We rolled in the Oldsmo' (ooh, ooh)
Was a sucker for a ponytail (ooh, woo)
Lookin' like another game of show and tell (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
And I'm still the same nigga (ooh, ooh)
Chains swingin' like Big Daddy Kane or Jigga (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah)
Baby, bring that thing back (ooh, whoa)
Hermes wave cap (ooh, ooh)
Hermes in the Gallardo (yeah)
A lotta code words in the convo (woo)
More plaques on the walls now
More doubt from the dogs now
Ooh, everything worth my heart and soul
I'ma give it up and let it go
Mama said if this really yours

In Teyana Taylor's song "Come Back To Me," the artist touches on the pain and heartbreak of a failed relationship. She begins by addressing the superficial nature of some relationships that she has been in, stating that she wants more than just temporary pleasures. She then recalls moments in the past where love felt different, where she had a special connection with someone who understood and accepted her. Despite this heartfelt reminiscence, she questions whether it is worth fighting for and if it is a two-way street, with both parties putting in effort. She further notes that she has been loyal and patient, yet she still feels uncertain if he truly cares.
The chorus highlights that Teyana will give her all and let go of everything that is not genuine. She references her mother's advice that true love will always find its way back to her. Despite the hurt and confusion, she is willing to let go of love and see if it comes back.
Overall, "Come Back To Me" is a poignant reminder of the complexities of relationships and the agony of heartbreak.
