I Didn't Mean to Haunt You
2022 studio album by Quadeca
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 came up with the concept for I Didn't Mean to Haunt You and contacted DeadAir, offering them to release his new album. Inspired by numerous musicians and music genres, it is a concept album written in the sounds of folktronica. Its concept 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; the online music critic Anthony Fantano considered "Born Yesterday" one of the best songs of 2022.

Why this record matters
“I Didn't Mean to Haunt You” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Didn't, Mean and Haunt provides the most credible route into that argument.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q114200663. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022 and 2021.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
