Composition

Lyrics and music were written by David Jost, Madeline Juno and Dave Roth. "Error" is described as pop music. In the song, Madeline Juno deals with her heartache. 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]

Music video

Two months before the release of the single, a teaser to the song was released on Juno's YouTube channel on September 10, 2013[6] and the music video was released on September 14, 2013.[7] The whole video is in black and white and shows Madeline Juno's face the whole time. The video is 3:53 minutes long and was directed by Paddy Kroetz.[8] On November 22, 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 Dagtekin.[9] On November 28, 2013, a lyric video of "Error" was released. It contains animated drawings made by Juno herself. That video was produced by Klaus Sahm.[10]
