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. She recently performed at Madison Square Garden singing the national anthem for the Knicks vs. Heat game. With the Music I Die is scheduled for a March 2011 release.
Bleeding Out
Wynter Gordon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how does it feel to be my worst but my best?
It hurts.
You got a hold of my heart now
You took a piece and you cut it out
You crawled up under my skin, under my skin
I'm bleeding out
I told you no but I'll let you
So take the rest of it, all, the best of it
I'm bleeding out
And you say I'm better than her I'm still nothing to you?
Oh, but if I leave this world I've got nothing left to prove
You got a hold of my heart now
You took a piece and you cut it out
You crawled up under my skin, under my skin
I'm bleeding out
I told you no but I love you
I told you no but I'll let you
So take the rest of it, all, the best of it
I'm bleeding out
The lyrics to "Bleeding Out" by Wynter Gordon are full of conflicting emotions and internal struggles. The song speaks of a relationship that is simultaneously toxic and irresistible. The opening lines ask a series of questions, directed at the object of the singer's affection. The phrase "my curse" implies that this person has the power to hurt her, even though she can't stay away from them. The next line, "And how does it feel to be my worst but my best?" expresses this duality of emotions. The singer knows that this person is bad for her, but she can't help but love them.
The chorus paints a vivid picture of the singer's intense feelings. She compares her lover to a disease, crawling up under her skin and taking control of her heart. She acknowledges that she's given herself over to this person, even though she knows it's not healthy. The repetition of "I'm bleeding out" emphasizes the physical and emotional pain that the singer is experiencing.
The second verse is even more conflicted than the first. The singer acknowledges that her lover sees her as better than someone else, but still "nothing". This shows that, despite his compliments, he doesn't truly value or respect her. The line "Oh, but if I leave this world I've got nothing left to prove" suggests that the singer is feeling hopeless and lost, and that her self-worth is tied up in this toxic relationship.
Overall, "Bleeding Out" is a powerful and emotional song about the pain and complexity of love. It captures the feeling of being completely consumed by someone, even when you know it's not good for you.

The blue rose reminded me a lot of my twin sister who got taken away from my life in november. Her favorite flowers were roses. There was blue lighting in her memorial. Blue has always stuck to me since then. Your one of our favorite artists we listened to as a kids. Such a beautiful song, thank you for making this.
