Switzerland was represented by the group Rainy Day with the song "Welche Farbe hat der Sonnenschein?" at the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg on 5 May. Rainy Day won the rights to represent Switzerland, from winning the national final that took place on 4 February 1984. In the song is made a question: "What colour is the sunshine?". The group ask us "How to paint it?" They say that there are many colours, the way we see the world depends on our feelings. It was the last song of the german composer Günther Loose.
Before Eurovision
Concours Eurovision 1984
Swiss Italian broadcaster RTSI was in charge of broadcasting the selection for the Swiss entry for the 1984 Contest. The national final was held at the RTSI studios in Lugano, hosted by Ezio Guidi and Natascha Giller. Nine songs were submitted for the 1984 national final and the winning song was chosen by 3 regional juries (DRS, TSR, TSI), a press jury, and an expert jury. Unusually, the votes from the regional juries were combined as one result, whose points were allocated based on the total number of points each song received from the said juries, and the points from the other juries were added on from there.
Other participants included past and future Swiss representatives including Arlette Zola (1982) and Carol Rich (1987).
