I Didn't Mean to Haunt You is the third studio album by the American musician Quadeca, released on November 10, 2022, through DeadAir Records and AWAL. Following his second album From Me to You in 2021, Quadeca contacted Jesse Taconelli of DeadAir to release I Didn't Mean to Haunt You after coming up with its concept. Inspired by numerous musicians, it is a concept album in the folktronica, art pop, indietronica, and alternative R&B genres. Its story revolves around a ghost in a purgatory-like state, defying typical expectations of the afterlife. Quadeca decided to keep the songs minimal to avoid overcomplicating the music, allowing the listener to connect with the album's character's journey. The album was promoted by two singles, "Born Yesterday" and "Tell Me a Joke". It was positively received by publications; Anthony Fantano considered "Born Yesterday" one of the best songs of 2022.
