Before Eurovision

Regional selections

The Swiss Broadcasting Corporation held a national final to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1992. Each division of SRG SSR — Swiss German and Romansh broadcaster Schweizer Fernsehen, Swiss French broadcaster Télévision Suisse Romande, and Swiss Italian broadcaster Radiotelevisione svizzera — used its own method to select its entries for the final. Eligible songs were required to have been composed by songwriters from Switzerland or Liechtenstein.
TSR and SF DRS internally selected their songs, however it is unknown how TSI selected theirs. In total, 142 songs were submitted, of which ten were ultimately selected: three each in French and Italian and four in German.

''1992''

TSI staged the national final on 23 February 1992 at 20:25 CET at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano. It was hosted by Alessandra Marchese. The national final was broadcast on TSI, TSR, and SF. Sandra Simó, who represented, and Richard Clayderman made guest appearances.
Initially, only nine songs were due to compete, however "Soleil, soleil" by Géraldine Olivier was eventually added to the lineup.
The voting consisted of regional public votes which were sent to the three divisions of SRG SSR, a press jury, and a jury of music experts. The winner was the song "Soleil, soleil", composed by and written and performed by Géraldine Olivier.

Disqualification and replacement

On 9 April, it was announced that Géraldine Olivier was disqualified due to her song being submitted in both the TSR and SF DRS preselections, which breached a rule regarding song submissions, specifically that songs could not be submitted twice to the regional selections by the same artist. Additionally, the song was also added to the lineup late, even though only nine songs were supposed to compete, with 3 songs per language, and the song was selected for the national final after the submission deadline. Runner-up later filed a lawsuit against SRG SSR for the oversight of the breach in rules.
On 13 April, it was announced that runner-up would replace Olivier and represent Switzerland instead with her song "Mister Music Man". It was previously speculated that she would have done so following Olivier's disqualification.
