Switzerland at Eurovision 2025: Swiss national broadcaster SRF recently revealed the song representing Switzerland at Eurovision 2025 in Basel. Zoë Më will perform “Voyage” on the Eurovision stage. Listen to the song!
“Voyage” (translated as: “Journey”) is the title of the song that will be performed by singer Zoë Më, who will represent Switzerland in the grand final of Eurovision 2025 on May 17 in Basel, Switzerland. The song was written by the singer, Emily Middlemas, and Tom Oehler, who previously wrote and produced the German entry for Eurovision 2019. The song will be performed in French.
The song was chosen by an internal committee of the national broadcaster and was revealed this morning at 11:00 AM Israel time. The song and music video depict a little girl crossing the street and dropping a flower. Later in the song, Zoë Më picks it up and sings about the girl’s loss, as she cannot see her among all the passing people.
The song deals with a complicated and deep relationship, where the speaker is in a tangled and new emotional reality. He describes the experiences of self-discovery and seeing a new world through innocent eyes, full of passion and sometimes unaware. The speaker shows the emotional conflicts he faces between unrequited and painful love and feelings of heartbreak and helplessness. Nevertheless, he conveys a desire to stay close to the person he loves, even if it involves suffering.
As the song progresses, it incorporates messages about emotional growth and understanding, like the metaphor of “flowers are more beautiful when you water them,” symbolizing the need to nurture and invest in a relationship to see its fruits. Despite the pain he is experiencing, the speaker expresses his determination to stay and be there for the other person, to continue loving and singing for them, even if his love is not returned. The song conveys a sense of an internal journey, where the speaker seeks a deeper connection and genuine closeness.

Lyrics – “Voyage“:
Mes yeux candides découvrent le monde
D’une façon naïve à faire confondre
Les démons de la nuit
Mmh, mmh
Tu me balances des mots qui m’étouffent
Quoi qu’il advienne je me couche
Près de toi ce soir
Mmh, mmh
Tu comprendras un jour
Que les fleurs sont plus belles
Quand tu les arroses
Tu m’as coupé tellement de…
…fois
Si tu veux je pars
Avec toi pour faire un voyage
Faire un voyage, voyage
Faire un voyage avec toi
Laisse-moi t’aimer même si tu m’aimes pas
Je vais me noyer dans tes larmes
Je vais partager ton vague à l’âme
Tu me bouffes avec ton regard
Quoi qu’il advienne je ne cesserai jamais
De chanter pour toi
Tu comprendras un jour
Que les fleurs sont plus belles
Quand tu les arroses
Tu m’as coupé tellement de…
…fois
Si tu veux je pars
Avec toi pour faire un voyage
Faire un voyage, voyage
Faire un voyage avec toi
Faire un, faire un voyage
Faire un, faire un voyage
Faire un, faire un voyage
Avec moi
Faire un, faire un voyage
Faire un, faire un voyage
Faire un, faire un voyage
Avec moi, avec…
…moi
Si tu veux je parѕ
Avec toi pour faire un voyage
Faire un voyage, voyage
Faire un voyage аvec toi
