Get ready, music lovers! Sean Paul is back and he's turning up the temperature.

Speaking to PEOPLE about his upcoming Greatest Tour, the Jamaican singer and producer opened up about gearing up to set out on the road, life at home with his two kids and the secret behind his hit song "Temperature."

"I haven't done a full tour like this in forever so I've been looking forward to it. I've been gearing up with the energy. I've been trying to keep faith and keep the positive vibes," Paul, 51, tells PEOPLE. "My music is about energy. It's about feeling good in life and feeling your life. And so I hope that I could just get one or two like yourself to come and feel life together."

Based of his song "Greatest," Paul plans to deliver a show full of "energy" and wants everyone to be "bouncing around." The tour will kick off on May 2 in Orlando, Fla., and will wrap on June 16 in Charlotte, N.C.

"It's time to feel life when you hear my music. Just fun, the fun stuff. I think that there's enough hard to deal with — things in life that you do get to put on a back burner when you come to my concert," he says.

Next year, Paul will celebrate the 20th anniversary of his hit song "Temperature" — and fans can bet he'll be bringing that banger on tour. Reflecting on its making, the singer-songwriter said he couldn't resist the beat when he first heard it in the studio. When he recorded it, he had a secret weapon — and he may need to bring it back.

"Back then, I was wearing retainers, those Invisalign-type things. So I did record the song with it in. Maybe I should try that again. Maybe that was the magic," he jokes.

He continues, "Having the Invisalign in and singing the lyrics. It's something I couldn't plan for. No way. As I've said to other people before, for every one song you might hear from me, I have about 20, 25 songs that you probably didn't hear. And maybe they didn't work, or they weren't good enough to come out. But the point is, it's a work in progress. And so you never know which one is going to be the top one."

To prepare for the tour, the "She Doesn't Mind" performer says he mostly spends his days playing basketball and in the studio — and he always makes time for his kids. He and his wife Jodi are parents to two children: son Levi Blaze, 7, and daughter Remi Leigh, 4½.

"To me, family life is important also. So spending time with them now, with my kids and my wife now, before I'm gone for six weeks, is an important thing as well. It's a delicate balance," he says of his family, who will not be joining him on tour because the kids are in school.

As a father, Paul enjoys getting to teach them what he feels is "important in life."

"As much knowledge as I can give to them from my experiences, from what I've learned, is an important thing. It's a real important stage as, after a certain age, their personality is developed to the point where they're going to be more oriented in that direction for the rest of their life. So that's pretty cool," he says. "They're just beautiful. They remind me of myself. And it's an awesome feeling being a dad. I wouldn't trade it for the world, honestly."

Back in the day, Paul couldn't go on tour without his PlayStation. Now, he's more focused on bettering himself.

"When I'm on tour a lot, I go to this app on my phone. It keeps your brain moving. It's like exercise for your brain. I think it's called Impulse. It gives you little math questions and little puzzles to do. It kind of keeps you on your toes mentally," he says.

He continues, "I definitely travel with a bag full of my vitamins. I take all the mushrooms. Not shrooms, mushrooms. So stuff for my health is important on tour, especially because you're in a different city every day, different things coming at you."
