Wynter was born in New York and was brought up in a poverty stricken neighborhood in Queens. As the middle child of seven living in a two bedroom house with an abusive and largely absent father, her childhood was difficult. Wynter discovered her talent for singing and dance at an early age. As a teenager, she was accepted to the famous LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts. There, she was nurtured in a welcoming and nonjudgmental environment. Wynter has been writing music since an early age. She wrote first song, "Daddys Song" at the age of 12. The track remains personal to Wynter and brought executives at Atlantic Records to tears during her showcase.

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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wynter Gordon's song "Toyfriend" are provocative and sexually charged. The song is essentially about the desire to have a sexual partner who is only for pleasure and entertainment, like a toy. The singer of the song wants to take control of their desired partner, putting them on a leash and into a cage, in order to teach them how to touch and pleasure the singer.

The lyrics also express a desire to keep the toy-like partner hidden away, rather than displaying them publicly. This references the taboo nature of casual sexual relationships and society's tendency to stigmatize those who engage in them. The chorus "Come come baby come be my Toyfriend let me play with you" reinforces the idea that the singer sees their partner as just that, a toy to be used for their pleasure.

Overall, the lyrics of "Toyfriend" celebrate the freedom and pleasure of casual sexual relationships without any emotional attachment. However, it can also be argued that the lyrics dehumanize the partner and reinforce the idea that casual sexual encounters are only about one person's pleasure and satisfaction.

Line by Line Meaning

I see you looking
I notice that you are looking at me

Yeah, you looking over my way
You are specifically looking in my direction

I wanna leash you up
I want to control you

And put you into my cage
I want to confine you

Teach you how to touch me baby
I want to instruct you on how to please me sexually

How to say my name
I want you to speak my name seductively

Bet you never had nobody to give it to you this way
I doubt anyone has ever given you pleasure this way

Ain't got to dress you up
I don't care about your appearance

And put you on display
I don't want to show you off

Rather keep you in my back house
I want to keep you hidden away

I turn you on turn you on in so many ways
I excite you in multiple ways

And I don't ever have to use no batteries
I don't need any additional devices to keep you turned on

Come come baby come be my Toyfriend let me play with you
I want you to be my plaything and let me have my way with you

Toyfriend 'til I'm through with you
You will be my toy until I am done with you

Let me play with you
Let me have my way with you sexually

Bounce!
This serves as a transition in the song, it doesn't hold much meaning on its own
