Ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, we had the opportunity to speak to Zoë Më, who will represent Switzerland.
We spoke with Zoë Më in Basel about the message of “Voyage” and the choice to film her performance in a continuous shot. As well as her best tips on what to do when in Basel, from someone who was born in the city.
Thank you Zoë for your time, and good luck for next week!

Switzerland hosted the first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956, a contest that they also won. Lys Assia won the first contest with the song “Refrain”. It wasn’t until 1988 that Switzerland would win the contest again. At the contest in Dublin, it was Celine Dion with “Ne partez pas sans moi” who beat the United Kingdom to victory by just 1 point. Switzerland won for a third time in 2024 represented by Nemo with “The Code”.
