Switzerland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "Tout l'univers" written by Gjon Muharremaj, Wouter Hardy, Nina Sampermans and Xavier Michel. The song was performed by Gjon's Tears, which is the artistic name of singer Gjon Muharremaj who was internally selected by the Swiss broadcaster Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR) to represent the nation at the 2020 contest in Rotterdam, Netherlands, after they were due to compete in the 2020 contest with "Répondez-moi" before the 2020 event's cancellation. "Tout l'univers" was presented to the public as the Swiss entry on 10 March 2021.
Switzerland was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 20 May 2021. Performing during the show in position 16, "Tout l'univers" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 18 May. It was later revealed that Switzerland placed first out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 291 points. In the final, Switzerland performed in position 11 and placed third out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 432 points.
