Relive the haunting brilliance of Badfinger’s "Baby Blue" in this gripping music video, intertwining the song’s timeless power-pop glory with iconic scenes from the Breaking Bad series finale, "Felina." Originally released in 1971 on Apple Records, this Pete Ham-penned classic—produced by Todd Rundgren—surged to #14 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Its resurgence in 2013, as the soundtrack to Walter White’s final moments, sparked a 9,000% spike in Spotify streams and a UK chart debut at #73, cementing its place in rock and TV history. This video, marked by the raw emotion of Badfinger’s melodic genius and Breaking Bad’s cinematic intensity, is a must-watch for fans of classic rock and gripping drama.

The Breaking Bad finale, viewed by 10 million fans, paired "Baby Blue" with Walter White’s love affair with his blue methamphetamine, a choice creator Vince Gilligan fought for despite initial pushback from his music team. The song’s lyrics, like “Guess I got what I deserved,” mirror Walt’s tragic arc, while its melancholic chords echo Badfinger’s own star-crossed story. Anecdote: Pete Ham wrote "Baby Blue" about Dixie Armstrong, a woman he met on tour, only to end the relationship due to her disinterest in the band’s grueling lifestyle. Tragically, Ham’s suicide in 1975, followed by bassist Tom Evans’ in 1983, both tied to financial ruin from shady management, adds a dark parallel to the song’s Breaking Bad usage. Surviving member Joey Molland, watching the finale in 2013, was stunned to hear the track, sparking renewed interest in Badfinger’s legacy.
