Gurtu composed and performed the track, though specific instrumentation or guest artists for this piece are not explicitly credited in the release metadata.

One Thought Away received distribution through Jazzline, a label known for its focus on jazz, world music, and experimental projects.
The title Chalo Chalo Chalo translates roughly from Hindi to \"Let’s go\" or \"Move forward,\" a phrase often associated with rhythmic or processional music in Indian traditions. The \"Pt II\" designation suggests a connection to an earlier version or thematic continuation, though the album does not include a \"Pt I\" under the same title. Context for the track’s placement within the broader album narrative is not provided in the release materials.
