Zoë Më represents Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. The event will take place in Basel, her hometown.
Zoë Më was born in Basel but moved to Fribourg in 2009. Growing up, she embraced both German and French cultures. At just ten years old, she started writing songs. Over the years, she developed a unique style, blending poetic pop with chanson influences. Her bilingual background allows her to sing in both German and French, reflecting Switzerland’s rich linguistic diversity.
In 2024, Zoë Më gained national recognition. She won awards such as ‘SRF 3 Best Talent’ and ‘RTS Artiste Radar.’ That same year, she released her bilingual EP Dorienne Gris. The project showcased her versatility and led to performances at major festivals, including the Montreux Jazz Festival and Luzern Live.
Now, Zoë Më is stepping onto an even bigger stage. Representing Switzerland at Eurovision is a dream come true. “Competing at ESC while Switzerland is hosting the contest is a huge honor,” she said. “It feels surreal. My grandparents still live in Basel, so this is a full-circle moment. It’s like something out of a fairytale.”
Her Eurovision song will be released on March 10, 2025, on the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel. As the host country, Switzerland is already qualified for the grand final in May.
Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest
Zoë Më represents Switzerland. Switzerland has a long history at Eurovision. The country won the very first contest in 1956 with Refrain by Lys Assia. Decades later, Switzerland achieved its second victory in 1988 when a young Céline Dion stunned Europe with Ne partez pas sans moi. It was Nemo who brought the trophy to Switzerland last year with The Code. Over the years, Swiss entries have ranged from classic ballads to modern pop hits. While the country has had mixed results, it has found success in recent years, qualifying for multiple finals.
