I think my ranking would be the remake, the bside, and the og. Maybe I’m just used to the male voices but I prefer them to FinKLs for this song
Fink.L's Now I already loved for a couple years, it's my fave 1st gen song, & would play it on repeat. So I had heard the original before the remake, & Oneus's doesn't have the vibe I loved from the original. The original feels like a spy or action movie soundtrack
Oneus's isn't as mysterious, haunting, etc.
I'm not describing it well but it doesn't have the vibe I loved about the first one (sound wise, the mv is still spy themed)
The instrumental is funkier & groovier though lower & with more bass.
Especially the change in the dance break instrumental (at the beginning of the song) - not at all the vibe
The bridge's instrumental doesn't match the vibe at all either, too groovy & not minimalistic to focus on the melody switching to vocals (being mostly percussion)
the build up/switch was also killed with the new dance break & it wasn't there after the dance break either
Seoho still killed it and Hwanwoong's

was really good but most of the way the members sang the lines didn't fit the mysterious action vibe I would've loved
this remake^ has a brighter instrumental than the original but still manages to be haunting at parts because of the vocals, even without the melancholic instrumental of the original 2nd gen song, so I still love it
And well yeah I'll stop because I talk too much
And ofc the b-side I liked before
