What does "face the music" mean?
Hey there! I was having a little chat with my kiddo, and suddenly she asked me, "What does 'face the music' mean?" I realized it was the perfect opportunity to teach them about taking responsibility, and I thought, who better to explain it than our friendly English teacher?
I hope I will be able to shed some light, Gulnara Abdirova.
If we are to face the music, we are to accept the consequences of our actions. This phrase implies that we are ready to take responsibility for whatever happened.
For example, “I’m ready to face the music for crashing my dad’s car.”
