Remixes and covers
Clickbait (Introduction)
A simplified cover of Clickbait similar to Splattack! (Jam Session) and Inkoming! (Cloud Demo). It starts with a sparse drum solo, but more instruments are added in. It can be heard at the beginning of Splatoon 3 Direct on 10 August 2022.[2]
Clickbait (Big Run)
A remix of Clickbait in style of ω-3 songs (and presumably made by them) can be heard in Splatoon 3 Direct on 10 August 2022, specifically the reveal of Big Run event in Salmon Run Next Wave mode.[2]
Other versions
Clickbait (Demo)
A demo version of Clickbait can be heard on the Live from Squid Research Lab on the Nintendo website.[3] The instruments sound less "live" and the vocals are less filtered. After the extended guitar sequence, there is a new vocal part that fades away seconds after instead of looping the first vocal part.
Clickbait (September 2021 Direct)
A shorter version of the demo version can be heard on a Splatoon 3 online multiplayer battle trailer on September 2021 Direct.[4] While otherwise identical to the aforementioned demo version, this version skips some parts of the song, and the beginning of the guitar sequence is cut off by static noises as the trailer transitions to the trailer for the Return of the Mammalians mode.
