"Dirty Talk" is a song by American recording artist Wynter Gordon, taken from her debut studio album, With The Music I Die. It was released in the United States on February 17, 2010. The song was written by Gordon, Michael Caren, Gregory Ferguson, Nicole Morier and Norman White and produced by Jupiter Ace. "Dirty Talk" is a dance-pop song backed by a house beat, inspired by a bedroom fantasy. Gordon has stated that the song is a lyrical product of her and her girlfriends goofing around in the studio.
The song was well-received from critics. It was praised for its naughty lyrics and fun production. "Dirty Talk" topped Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs. The song also topped the charts in Australia, peaked within the top ten of the charts in the Republic of Ireland and the top thirty of the charts in the United Kingdom. In the latter country, "Dirty Talk" also peaked at number six on the country's dance singles chart and remains a popular anthem in Britain's nightclubs. Its accompanying music video was directed by Armen Djerrahian and premiered on July 19, 2010.
"Dirty Talk" was written by Gordon in collaboration with Michael Caren, Gregory Ferguson, Nicole Morier and Norman White. It was written after Gordon "finally found her lane in dance music" after she previously wrote genre varied songs for the likes of Mary J. Blige. "Dirty Talk" acts as Gordon's debut single as a solo artist. She mentioned: "Being featured on 'Sugar' with Flo Rida was great but there's nothing like having your own song."
"Dirty Talk" has been said to be about Gordon singing about bedroom fantasies. The song's lyrics were a product of her and co-writer Nicole Morier goofing around in the studio, trying to think of "sexy things". Speaking to AtlanticRecords.com, Gordon stated the song was not about anyone in particular. She said:
