Fightin' demons in my head like I'm Itadori
While the song's opening doesn't directly reference JJK, anime fans were quick to point out that intro is done by Itadori's English voice actor, Adam McArthur. It references a famous JJK blooper where McArthur jokingly talks about Megan Thee Stallion while in the character of Itadori.

If that's not enough to convince you, spider lilies are a significant part of the anime, and those are present in music video, too.
