"Bye Bye I Love You" was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest, in which year, the song is notable in the history of the Contest; it was the very first entry composed by Eurovision veteran Ralph Siegel, who would go on write 19 ESC entries throughout the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, 1 for Switzerland, that participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 58 times?
Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest Switzerland has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 58 times since making its debut at the first contest in 1956 , missing only four contests, in 1995, 1999, 2001 and 2003. Switzerland hosted the first contest in 1956, and won it themselves. Switzerland won the contest again in 1988.
Refrain (Lys Assia song) "Refrain" was the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 1956, co-written by Émile Gardaz and Géo Voumard, performed by Lys Assia representing Switzerland. It was the first-ever winner of the Contest, but not the first-ever performance by Switzerland. This apparent anomaly is due to the rules of the 1956 Contest allowing (for the only time to date) each competing country to be represented by "two" songs. Assia represented Switzerland singing both songs (one of only two performers to do this), and had previously performed "Das alte Karussell" in German ("Refrain" was sung in French).
