Switzerland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 with the song "Welche Farbe hat der Sonnenschein?", written by Günther Loose, and performed by the group Rainy Day. The Swiss participating broadcaster, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR), selected its entry for the contest through a national final.

Concours Eurovision 1984
Swiss Italian broadcaster Televisione svizzera di lingua italiana (TSI) was in charge of staging and broadcasting the selection for the Swiss entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1984. It held the national final at its 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.
On the night of the contest Rainy Day performed 17th, following Finland and preceding Italy. At the close of the voting Switzerland had picked up 30 points, placing Switzerland in 16th place out of 19 entries.[1] The Swiss jury awarded its 12 points to Ireland.
The Swiss conductor at the contest was Mario Robbiani.
