The songwriters

Now we all know Wouter Hardy from co-writing a little known tune called Arcade. (and update, Estonia 2023)

Tout l'Univers was originally written and recorded in English as Ground Zero and our Gjon shared a snippet of that on YouTube. There are no plans for release.

Nina Sampermans sang for Hooverphonic for a brief moment (2016-2017) and she still writes with them. She also co-wrote the Belgian 2012 entry Would You by Iris.

Last years song Répondez-moi was a fan favorite but only spent one week at #100 in the Swiss charts. (It re-entered after the 2021 contest at 42 for 1 week)

The 2021 entry fares much better as it enters the Swiss charts at #1 after Eurovision. 

Gjon's Tears was originally a five man band but it was their singer Gjon Muharremaj who got in the spotlights after participating in the French version of The Voice in 2019. 

Gjon likes his competitions. At the age 12 he ended 3rd in Albania Got Talent and a year later he appeared in the Swiss version.
