Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Lady Gaga detailed her upcoming Superbowl halftime performance as part of a new behind-the-scenes featurette.

"I've been planning this since I was four, so I know exactly what I'm going to do," the pop star says in a video posted by the Super Bowl Tuesday on Twitter.

"For me, it's all about giving to the fans and bringing people together that wouldn't normally come together. The thing is, it's such a big world stage in terms of how many people see it and it's been done so many times," she continued.

"I think the challenge is to look at it and say, 'What can I do differently? How can I elevate certain little things here and there, and also make it about the music?' This is where I'm supposed to be."

Footage of dance rehearsals -- led by choreographer Richy Jackson -- are also featured.

"We're gonna see a humble, appreciative yet showmanship side of Gaga," Jackson states.

Gaga has kept fans up to date on her preparations for the Super Bowl on social media sharing looks into backyard rehearsals at her home.

Gaga was announced as the Super Bowl LI halftime performer in September. The singer will take the stage live on Feb. 5 at the NRG stadium in Houston, Texas.
