Vanilla Ninja was an all-female Estonian rock band formed in 2002. Since the release of their first album, they enjoyed much success throughout central Europe with a string of hit singles. They were selected internally to represent Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 in Kyiv with the song Cool Vibes, where they finished 8th overall in the final - a placement that is the country's best finish in the final in the 21st century despite the act itself not being Swiss-based. Their 8th-place finish in the semifinal remained Switzerland's best placing in the semifinal era until Sebalter bettered it with a 4th-place finish in his semi in 2014.
