FEATURED EXPRESSION

The expression "it's on me" is a casual way of saying that you will pay for something, usually a meal, a drink, or an activity. It means you are taking financial responsibility for the cost, often as a kind gesture or to celebrate something. It can also be used more broadly to mean that you are taking responsibility for a situation.

You can use it in different contexts: "Don't worry about the bill — it's on me tonight." or "You've done so much for me, let me buy you lunch — it's on me."
