Switzerland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "Vampires Are Alive", written by René Baumann and Axel Breitung, and performed by Baumann himself under his stage name DJ BoBo. The Swiss participating broadcaster, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR), internally selected its entry for the contest. DJ BoBo was announced in December 2006, and the song was presented to the public on 21 February 2007.
Switzerland competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2007. Performing during the show in position 8, "Vampires Are Alive" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Switzerland placed twentieth out of the 28 participating countries in the semi-final with 40 points.
