On Sunday, The NFL, Roc Nation, and Apple Music revealed that Usher will headline the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show.

The singer, known by some as the "King of R&B," said that performing in next year's show was "an honor of a lifetime."

"It's an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can't wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they've seen from me before," the artist said in a joint statement shared by the NFL on Sunday. "Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I'll see you real soon."

Not only is it an honor for Usher, but it could also prove to be an honor for those watching. We've got a few song requests to ensure the best-ever halftime performance.

'Yeah!'

To play this hit song from 2004 would be to unite an entire generation of millennials, hearkening back to the club days of yore. Please don't deprive us of this opportunity, Usher.

'U got it bad'

Released in 2001, this song is, as Slate described in August, an "anthem for the down-bad simps among us." While it might be a slower tune to play during the Super Bowl, it's a classic nonetheless.

'OMG'

This 2010 banger is an absolute must-play during Super Bowl LVIII for a younger generation of Usher listeners. It's fun, it's poppy, and it never misses.

'You Make Me Wanna'

As Slate so aptly put it, this 1997 hit "didn't just solidify Usher's personality, style, and place in the music industry (and on the charts) — it also jump-started his hilarious trend of making truly unserious hit songs about nefarious and/or adulterous deeds."

What more could anyone want from a Super Bowl performance?

'Love in this Club'

I don't know if this song from 2008 will even be allowed on national television. But, please, I'm begging you Usher, play this song.
