The album's name comes from the concept that all of humanity lives under one sky and that, therefore, man cannot operate as a solitary creature. The cover art is a photo taken by Ryan Cohan.

The Ryan Cohan Sextet received a grant from Chamber Music America to compose the suite "One Sky: Tone Poems for Humanity," which makes up the second half of the album.[1][2]
