On “Face the Music” Louis Tomlinson speaks of a couple who know they are bad for each other, or at least know that there would be consequences to them being together; but ultimately not caring about it, and submitting to their love for one another.
FTM is told through by a first-person narrator, presumably Louis, and his inner monologue and subsequent debate of right and wrong; where wanting this person puts him in the world, and wether or not it all is so bad in the end.
On this track, the narrator wants the best of both worlds, seemingly unable to choose between this person, and the consequences being with them would bring. But ultimately submitting to this person at the end of the song; stating that, for just one night, he won’t have this debate with himself, forget about the worries and wrong this relationship will bring him, and just go with it.

Face the music is the fifth track on Louis Tomlinson second album, Faith in the Future.
