"Winter" is a song by Scottish band Love and Money, released in 1991 as the third single from their album *Dogs in the Traffic*. Written by James Grant and produced by Steve Nye, the track was initially intended to be the first single but was delayed. Fontana Records chose "My Love Lives in a Dead House" instead, believing "Winter's" title might hinder its success during spring.

Re-released on 18 November 1991, "Winter" reached No. 52 in the UK Singles Chart and stayed in the Top 100 for two weeks. It also peaked at No. 10 on the Music Week Top 50 Airplay Chart. To promote the single, Fontana staged a stunt involving three tons of snow dumped outside BBC Radio 1’s headquarters.

The song was met with mixed reviews. Peter Kinghorn described it as "reflective" and praised its melody, while Steve Stewart gave it three stars, noting its departure from the band's usual style but acknowledging its unique appeal.

"Winter" appears on various formats: the 7-inch single features "Winter" and "Blue Eyed World"; the 12-inch and CD singles include additional tracks like "Dreamscape Angel" and "Winter '89." The UK limited edition CD includes "Wanderlust II," "Halleluiah Man," and "Candybar Express."

The song’s personnel credits include James Grant on vocals and guitar, Love and Money band members, Steve Nye as producer, and others involved in its production.
