After high school, Wynter threw herself fully into realizing her music dreams, while also dealing with surviving on her own for the first time. She juggled several jobs while working in the studio at nights and as much as she could. During this time, Wynter met her manager, Keith White who introduced her to Don Pooh at Atlantic Records. Wynter worked closely with producer D'Mile since 2004 where they both came with her first track to fame, "Gonna Breakthrough" written by Wynter Gordon and produced by D'Mile was used as the title track to Mary J. Blige's 2005 album The Breakthrough. Soon after, Wynter was given an opportunity and signed to Atlantic Records, through Don Pooh Music Group, where she has been working on her debut album since 2004.
In 2008, Wynter penned two tracks for Danity Kane's second album Welcome to the Dollhouse, "2 of You" and "Do Me Good". Wynter co-wrote the summer smash "Sugar", a track that she was featured on with Flo Rida from his 2009 album R.O.O.T.S. after laying down a reference vocal. The track became an international hit and peaked at number #5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 . Wynter also co-wrote and sang on the dance track "Toyfriend" from French DJ David Guetta's 2009 album One Love. Wynter worked close with Jennifer Lopez on her new project writing four tracks for her including "What Is Love", "What Is Love Part II", "Starting Over" and "Everybodys Girl" for her seventh studio album Love?. Currently, Wynter is also writing for artists including Adrienne Bailon, Estelle & Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester.
Wynter is currently working on her debut album with no official release period being set so far. The album is titled "With the Music I Die". Wynter confirmed that the Jupiter Ace-produced "Dirty Talk" will be the official lead single. It was released on iTunes and Amazon.com on March 2, 2010. Presently, the second single from the album is 'Surrender'. Although Wynter said herself things may change but did confirm that presently 'Surrender' is the second single choice. On October 22, Wynter announced via her official website that she would be releasing her debut EP, The First Dance, on November 9, 2010. The tracklist contained 4 of her previously released collaborations with David Guetta, Freemasons, Rhythm Masters & MYNC and Static Revenger, along with two previously unreleased remixes.

Believer
Wynter Gordon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could see beyond the stars
The cards would have a picture, with your face on it
I see signs everything leads to you
I'm walking in your direction I'm feeling this new sensation, Yea
You taste like hunger
You feel like urgency
You sound so good to me
So if I am wrong
If I am right
Make me a believer
Before I leave here tonight
Make me a believer
I'm a believer x2
Over time, it's natural selection
We exist to love
But love is not perfection
So we try
You taste like hunger
You feel like urgency
You make me wonder
You sound so good to me
So if I am wrong
If I am right
Make me a believer
Before I leave here tonight
Make me a believer
I'm a believer x3
Wynter Gordon's song Believer is a powerful ballad about the desire for love and the hope that it can bring. The opening lines express the singer's longing for a deeper connection with someone special, and express the idea that this connection is somehow fated or predestined. In the second verse, Gordon explores the complexity of love, acknowledging that it is not always perfect but that we still strive for it nonetheless.
Throughout the song, the singer's emotions are conveyed through a series of vivid metaphors. She compares her feelings to hunger and urgency, capturing the intense, all-consuming nature of desire. She also uses imagery of cards and fortune-telling, suggesting that her attraction to this person goes beyond rational explanation and is somehow intertwined with fate or destiny.
At its heart, Believer is a song about the power of love to transform us and make us believe in something greater than ourselves. Through her words and music, Wynter Gordon taps into the universal human longing for connection and hope, and invites us to join her on this emotional journey.

Right now if I was a fortune teller
If I had the ability to predict the future at this moment,
I could see beyond the stars
I would be able to see beyond what is currently visible in the sky,
The cards would have a picture, with your face on it
The tarot cards that I would read would have an image of you,
I see signs everything leads to you
I see signs and omens that point to you being an important part of my life,
I'm walking in your direction I'm feeling this new sensation, Yea
I am moving closer to you and experiencing a new, exciting feeling,
You taste like hunger
You are irresistible to me, like something I crave,
You feel like urgency
Being with you feels urgent and necessary,
You make me wonder
You make me question things and consider new possibilities,
You sound so good to me
You appeal to my senses and my emotions in a positive way,
So if I am wrong

It makes me sad that she sort of fell off the face of the earth.. she could have been one of the biggest stars. She had it.
Connor MacGregor
@Meep_ Murp She didn’t really. She is still an artist under the name “Diana Gordon” who still makes music. Some of her songs on Soundcloud have been streamed over 15M times.

What an amazing song. Take me back to 2010.

What an amazing track, I have never been disappointed by Freemasons. They always nail it track after track ❤️ and this collab is definitely one of the best ones in dance music history. The video helps too. Freemasons for 2021 please!
