StevenukdDear Teachers,

1. Does “It’s on me!” mean “Let me pay!”?
Yes, if you are talking about pick up the check.
It could also mean "I am responsible". For example, if you made a critical mistake and you made your team lose a game, you could say "it's on me" to mean "sorry everyone, it's my fault we lost."
