"Face the Face" is a song by the English rock musician Pete Townshend. The song is the third track on Townshend's fifth solo studio album, a concept album titled White City: A Novel, and was released as a single. The UK and US single edit features Pete Townshend's daughter Emma Townshend singing some parts on the song.
The single reached number 26 on the US Billboard Hot 100 (Townshend's final American top 40 hit as a solo artist) and number 3 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, along with achieving top 20 status in Australia, New Zealand and several European territories, but did not share the same success in the UK, only peaking at number 89 on the UK singles chart.
