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.

Their second and, to this point, most recent victory was achieved in 1988 when Canadian singer Céline Dion won the contest with the song "Ne partez pas sans moi".

In 2005, the internal selection of Estonian girl band Vanilla Ninja, performing the song "Cool Vibes", qualified Switzerland to the final where they placed 8th.

In 2019, Switzerland returned to an internal selection and earned their highest result in the contest since 2014, qualifying to the final and placing 4th with the song "She Got Me" performed by Luca Hänni.

On 20 March 2020, SRG SSR confirmed that Gjon's Tears would remain as Switzerland's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021.

The song was written by Gjon's Tears together with Wouter Hardy, Nina Sampermans and Xavier Michel.

[7]I am so happy that I will finally be able to take part in Eurovision this year and that I can spread a positive message with my song.

I am convinced that in this exceptional situation it is possible to rediscover and reinvent ourselves.On 17 March, Gjon's Tears recorded his 'live-on-tape' performance at the SRF studios in Zürich.

[9] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final.

During the second chorus, two pieces of the frame moved apart with Gjon's Tears standing on a lone beam for the remainder of the song.

Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting.

The judges assess each entry based on the performances during the second Dress Rehearsal of each show, which takes place the night before each live show, against a set of criteria including: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.

[21] Jury members may only take part in panel once every three years, and are obliged to confirm that they are not connected to any of the participating acts in a way that would impact their ability to vote impartially.
