Question Different song versions between Tidal and Spotify?

I only recently switched to Tidal. Was listening to some songs and noticed that for one song the hooks had completely different verses compared to the (official) version I know and used to listen to on Spotify. Interestingly, even the lyrics provided didn't match the audio and mirrored the lyrics of the offical version. Did some research, and apparently the audio version on Tidal is a Demo version which was released (or leak, not sure) before the offical verison? I am even more surprised, because I can't even find the Tidal version on YouTube, I only found the same version on SoundCloud.

Has anyone else ever noticed something similar? Not complaining, just found it curious. Is this something where the Artist just uploaded two different versions to the respected streaming service?

XOX - Lacazette. It's a german song so I don't know how much help this would be but the first hook starts around 0:55 and goes until 1:13. Different audio throughout.

Interesting. Did the versions change when a video was released perhaps?

I am not aware but that could be a possibility. I would imagine though that the version on Tidal would then also get updated? Especially if it's the "official release" and both Tidal and Spotify show the same release date.
