She wrote the song at a time when she did not understand the world. She did not know where to go or what to do next as everything seemed to be confusing for her.[5]

The video is 3:53 minutes long and was directed by Paddy Kroetz.[8] On 22 November 2013 Juno released a Fack ju Göhte version of the video which is in color and incorporates some scenes of the movie. That version was directed by Bora Dağtekin.[9] On 28 November 2013, a lyric video of "Error" was released. It contains animated drawings made by Juno herself. That video was produced by Klaus Sahm.[10]
