Sorry, fellas: Usher's upcoming tour is for ladies only.
The multiple Grammy Award winner plans to announce details of his "One Night Stand" tour soon - a series of 15 shows for women, according to the Associated Press.
Usher, a married father of one, said he sees his choice to perform solely to the fairer sex as a challenge.
"There's only a few artists that can pull that off," the 29-year-old said.
"I feel like I've had such a connection with my audience. This album, I felt like, was definitely the type of one that was more intimate. So what better way to get up close and personal than to make it all women?"
Usher's latest album, "Here I Stand," debuted at No. 1 in May, but had disappointingly low sales compared to his previous album, 2004's "Confessions."
His upcoming shows will be performed in "intimate" venues, he says.
Usher married makeup artist Tameka Foster last year, the mother of his only child, Usher Raymond V.
But, while he's a family man, Usher says he still wants to prove he's a sex symbol.
"The ladies like to see that masculine build," he said. "They question if I still got it."
