La réponse en bref
Face the music: 3 ways to accept consequences
"Face the music" means you stop avoiding a problem and accept what happens next, often a hard talk or a punishment. Use "Own up to it" to tell someone to admit a mistake. Use "It's time to pay the piper" when the bad results have finally arrived.

-
Own up to it. Ton: Friendly, honest advice
Use it to tell someone to admit they did something wrong. To own up means to say you did it. It works between friends and coworkers, but it can sound pushy if you say it to your boss.
“Oh, come on. Own up to it.”
-
We'll just face the music. Ton: Brave and ready
Use it before a hard conversation or a difficult moment that you can't avoid. It shows you're ready to accept the result. Don't use it for small, easy problems, or it sounds too dramatic.
“We'll just face the music.”
-
It's time to pay the piper. Ton: Serious, no way out
Use it when the results of earlier choices finally arrive, such as a bill, a test, or a penalty. It sounds serious and a little old-fashioned. Avoid it when the problem was not the person's fault.
“It's time to pay the piper.”
-
That's on me. Ton: Casual, direct
Use it to say a mistake was your fault, quickly and without excuses. It's common at work and with friends. For a serious formal problem, a fuller apology is better.
-
I take full responsibility. Ton: Formal, accountable
Use it in emails, meetings, or public statements when you accept blame clearly. It can sound stiff in a casual chat with friends.
-
I'll take the heat. Ton: Protective, brave
Use it when you agree to receive the anger or criticism, sometimes to protect other people. Don't use it if you plan to hide afterward.

It's time to pay the piper for this great lunch.Formulation conseillée It's time to pay for lunch.
"Pay the piper" is about accepting bad results of earlier choices, not paying a normal bill for something nice.
