I think there was definitely a hinting at it at least. Ruby saw Jaune and Cinder and flashed back to the death of a platonic friend (presumably platonic). Jaune saw Weiss and thought back to a potential love interest. Arguably, this would be a good time to move in that direction. Both Jaune and Weiss have been through quite a bit, so they have changed a lot since they first met. Weiss has become less withdrawn and combative, while Jaune has become more responsible and competent. Back during Volume 4 I believe I suggested this was a potential outcome given the changes in their characters. This really kind of started with Volume 2 and the dance episode. How Jaune behaved at first was definitely not becoming of him, but he was at worst obnoxious and he has changed on that front. Despite it being for Blake and Adam's inspirations, I would say this song is a much better representation of where Weiss and Jaune are potentially at in their relationship.
