Marius will be singing Boys Do Cry at the 2022 song contest.<\/p>\n

The song was internally selected by\u00a0SRG SSR, Switzerland\u2019s broadcaster for the\u00a0Eurovision Song Contest, and is about the fact that all people experience pain, including men.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learnt very early on that I don\u2019t need to be ashamed of my feelings. As a man, I\u2019m not afraid to cry and to lay bare my weaknesses to my audience. I don\u2019t want to wear emotional armour, I want to be who I am. And I want to encourage my audience to do the same,\u201d Bear said in an interview.<\/p>\n
