Demo version
An early demo of Kick Drums & Red Wine was released as a prize during the Fall 2020 alternate reality game (ARG). Titled Kick Drums & Red Wine v2, it is rather short and has little in common with the final version of the song. The instrumentation is completely different, having a more progressive house feel akin to wemoveforward. The only vocals present in the demo are the first verse and chorus, which seem to be unchanged in the final version.

Lyrics
Some look to the sky for truth
I look across the room Katie's dress in full bloom
Yellows and blues
>
But I prefer kick drums and red wine
I prefer kick drums and red wine I prefer kick drums and red wine
I prefer kick drums and red wine
>
Some people find it with devotion
Some with gold and some with bourbon Some like praying to the blue sky
Some like putting on a disguise
>
But I prefer kick drums and red wine
I prefer kick drums and red wine I prefer kick drums and red wine
I prefer kick drums and red wine
>
I prefer kick drums and red wine
I prefer kick drums and red wine I prefer kick drums and red wine
I prefer kick drums and red wine
