Never change a winning team

As announced by ESCtoday in July, the selection process will be the same as last year for the landlocked country. The act that will represent Switzerland in Rotterdam will be chosen 50/50 between a professional jury and a 100-member public panel. With some many songs to choose from, the process can finally begin.

As a result, Switzerland not only qualified for the Grand final after four non-qualifiers in a row, but they also reached the best result since 1993, landing in 4th place with 364 points.
