The title track of the album was released January this year.

As seen in his official website, Ocean made the following announcement for his upcoming album:
“One World’ is my first original studio album in over 10 years. It’s like a landmark for my 70th birthday! I feel this album reflects my maturity, and the many genres of music I’ve been exposed to – coming from the Caribbean as a little boy influenced by calypso music, to growing up in the East End of London, where music was so wonderfully diverse. I truly feel ‘One World’ has captured all of my musical influences over the years. The album reflects my thoughts, and the way that I feel at 70 years old, but most of all I hope that it will make people stop and think about life and its meaning.”

On April 17 Billy Ocean released a second single called “All Over The World”.

In a recent Instagram update, fans were informed that the Bath Festival, where Billy will perform tracks from his new album, has been postponed for May 29th and 30th, 2021.
