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.

Don't Waste Your Time
Wynter Gordon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me out to dinner got me hanging with your crew
Feeling on my booty baby look me in the eye
Tell me that I'm special and I'm gonna be your wife
You got me all up in your room and then your bed
And all the shit you're saying going to my head
You got me feeling like it's on
But right after we're done
I see you walking through the door like
Don't waste your time
Just let it go
You'll be just fine out there on your own
Don't waste your time
I'm never coming back
I'm too far gone
You can fool me once and then I let you fool me twice
Trust you with it dirty baby I'mma let my dice
But now you only hit cus what you do you do it good
And I want you to touch me like a stranger only could
You shot me in the heart like I'm a soldier
I used to want your love but now it's over
I'm actin like a dude I do it on a whim
You ruining my million I'mma ruin everything like damn
Don't waste your time (your time)
Just let it go
You'll be just fine out there on your own
Don't waste your time (your time)
I'm never coming back
I'm too far gone
(Ahaa, ahaa,ahaa)
Don't waste your time (x4)
Don't waste your time
Just let it go
You'll be just fine out there on your own
Don't waste your time
I'm never coming back
I'm too far gone
The song "Don't Waste Your Time" by Wynter Gordon talks about a woman who is initially charmed and seduced by a man who pays her attention and promises her the world. He takes her out to dinner, makes her feel special, and takes her to bed. However, after they sleep together, the man seems to lose interest and walks out the door without any hesitation, leaving the woman feeling used and abandoned. The message of the song is clear - the woman realizes that she was being deceived and that the man was not serious about her, so she warns him not to waste his time in pursuing her any further. She advises him to let her go and move on with his life as she has no intentions of coming back.
The lyrics of the song depict a common scenario in modern relationships where people use and manipulate each other for their pleasure without any consideration for the other person's feelings. The song is a cautionary tale against falling for someone who only pretends to care but has no intentions of staying committed. The woman in the song has learned from her experience and is now wise enough not to waste her time on someone who does not value her.
Overall, the song "Don't Waste Your Time" is a powerful anthem for people who have been hurt in love and are looking for a way to move on. It's a reminder to stay strong and not to settle for anything less than genuine love and respect.

First time I heard Wynter's song "Dirty Talk" for the first time immediately loved her sound. I admire how she experiments with different styles, I think its a good way for musicians to stay relevant is to experiment with different elements of music. Appreciate her even more for being underground!
