Usher is all about the “fan experience” and “trying to figure out how to give them something that makes them feel something.”

“I’m a dreamer, man,” said the “Good Good” performer.

Elsewhere, he shared some tips for the highly anticipated show: Fans can expect one big costume change, roller skating, choreography and some exciting guest appearances.

However, Usher’s main goal is for R&B to “take the main stage.”

“Not just R&B music, but R&B performance, R&B connection, R&B spirit,” he said.

“I’ve been doing this for 30 years,” Usher added. “I want people who have been a part of that journey to feel that it’s a celebration for everyone, for all of us, from the beginning to this point.”

Earlier this week, the trailer for Apple Music’s Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show was released — and Usher sure knew how to turn his fans on.

Set to his 2004 hit “Yeah!” the trailer beautifully weaves together more than three decades of footage of Usher, his legions of fans and famous faces like LeBron James, J Balvin and Jungkook.

“One performance, 30 years in the making,” the film says.

Usher announced in September that he would be hosting the Super Bowl halftime show by sharing a video of himself receiving a phone call from Kim Kardashian who told him the news.

“It’s the honor of my life to finally cross a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list,” Usher said in a statement. “I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything they’ve seen from me before.”

The performer continued: “Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity possible. See you very soon.”

The show will take place the day after Usher’s ninth studio album, Coming homeDrops.
