Where does the theme of Breaking Bad (intros and sometimes during the episodes) come from? Is it a song or a short piece written specifically for this show? Also can it be found on any official CD collections?

I think the longest version of the theme can be heard in the end of Granite State (s05e15) episode.

  • I think the Breaking Bad theme sounds very like "Chan Chan" by the Buena Vista Social Club

It's an original piece written specifically for the show, written by Dave Porter. The title of the song is simply, "Breaking Bad Theme". There are a few CDs available with music from the show, one featuring music written specifically for the show.

MattD is absolutely correct, you can meet the composer here:

Dave Porter created that opening theme and has scored the show throughout its five-year run. A composer who began his career as an assistant in the studio of Philip Glass, he is currently working with filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan on the TV series “Wayward Pines,” a thriller expected to air on Fox next year.
