"Face to the Floor" is the first single from Chevelle's album, Hats Off to the Bull. According to the band, it is a "pissed off, angry song about people who got taken by the Ponzi scheme that Bernie Madoff had for all those years." "Face to the Floor" reached No. 1 on Mediabase's Active Rock chart, and the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, their first No. 1 single since "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)".
Billboard rated "Face to the Floor" 80 out of 100, saying ""Floor" delivers nearly four minutes of the cathartic alt-metal fans have come to expect from Chevelle." Liz Ramanand of Loudwire gave the song 4 out of 5 stars, praising it for its consistently "heavy, catchy guitar riffs".
