Switzerland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with the song "Boys Do Cry", written by Marius Hügli and Martin Gallop, and performed by Hügli himself under his stage name Marius Bear. Hügli was internally selected by the Swiss broadcaster Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR) to represent the nation at the 2022 contest. "Boys Do Cry" was presented to the public as the Swiss entry on 8 March 2022.

Switzerland was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2022. Performing during the show in position 4, "Boys Do Cry" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 18 May. It was later revealed that Switzerland placed ninth out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 118 points. In the final, Switzerland performed in position 5 and placed seventeenth out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 78 points.
