According to the official teaser, at least the mixing is different.

I still think OEB isn’t really a single worthy song…I wish let Dielemma breathe and push that right now before the release of the album 

[AnonymWarnerGermany]

Just listened to it. Its basically just a new mix of what we already knew. for me the weakest single, but still ok.

[Saviour]

It an ear worm alright, but I agree probably the weakest of what we've heard from the album so far. 

Something about it gives off FOAMF-era vibes and nobody wants that. 

Still better than 90% of that album though.

In OEB final version the tambourine and handclaps were removed

Some vocals are overdubbed too

[Insomniac90]

I‘m fine with the song. Like you said, its better than most of FOAM. And even if its the weakest song so far, their „standard“ is still outstanding and I‘m sure there will be much better songs as deep cuts.

personally I found „Look ma“ ad the „weakest“ song but weak is too much, I love this song and all the songs thats been released so far. Rob didn‘t lie when he asked Billie to make Rock‘n‘Roll history. Even if the album doesn‘t perform the charts, they‘re building up their legacy and putting out amazing records after so many years. 
I‘m glad to call Green Day my favorite Band

[Tomcat20]

Any chance to hear it already outside Australia?

[HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN]

The new version has a way better mix, I thought it was a good song before, this makes it fitting more the sound of the rest of the songs we heard so far and in general elevates it IMHO. Really good release, maybe not on par with the other three songs but still a very good Green Day song. 
And Deep Purple riffs have been an inspiration for musicians and producers for ages, don’t see any big drama there, for sure is not Pink who should get credits here. 

(The official release is available in Australia, just use a VPN and search on YouTube  )

Are they putting a music video to this?

Same here

[Little Boy Named Booze]

Just used my Australian VPN.
My least favourite but it's because I have this song on my phone since 2022 so nothing new.
Better mix but everything else is the same.

On the Reddit

[Jankowski576]

IMO this song should’ve been dropped once ADIKM came around. The rhythm and movement of the riff is similar, and it’s 100% a weaker and more pieced together song

[billy1986]

Music video??

[stories and songs]

Is the video accessible in Australia a music video or a lyric video or just an upload of the song?

[Little Boy Named Booze]

It's just an upload of the song right now.

I do New Zealand but I'm always on the prowl for earlier zones.

I liked the tambourine

[Mato]

Gosh, the leaked version has a far superior mixing (except bass is too low). All the grandiose toms are now gone and everything sits in mids and sounds thin compared to leaked version. Oh, and it's really missing the handclaps and tambourine. I'm really disappointed. 😕

[Redundantuserjinxboy]

Good song, not great but pretty fun. Not a skip but isnt anything special

It's ok but I don't think it's a good representation of the album would've went with father to a son but we'll have it all in two weeks so I guess it's cool for now 

[Killjoy From Detroit]

i'm just wondering why they decided to just shadow drop it. no official announcement, no fanfare, no nothin'.

We have both versions, I wish "damn juvenile delinquent" was on the album or at least a bonus track, sucks it's out there but greedy nerds are hoarding it hopefully someone will eventually leak it

They probably understand its not really single worthy. I mean its still better than all the foam singles but its basically just an album song, maybe even filler?
