I do find the English part a bit weird sounding: "You say no, what you don't believe". Does she means "You say no to what you don't believe"..?
I thought it was supposed to be “what don’t you believe” and the other part should be “what do I believe”

I have to look at the lyrics and try to find where she sings "You are full of shit."
The English part is hard to understand without reading the lyrics.

Would make more sense, but no, the official lyrics were posted under Nonfiction's Youtube video:

Spoiler:
「Nonfiction」

words : ayumi hamasaki
music : Hisashi Koyama
arrangement : tasuku


Zzz... 浮かない顔してるのは
鏡のあなた自身
この頃ちょっと狂いすぎてる
だから嘘はすぐにめくれる

引き換えに犠牲にした
モノとかあるのかなって
マジで言ってんなら
Are you kidding me

成功が人生のゴールですか？
その成功って何ですか？
枠にはまらないのは罪ですか？
その他大勢なら安心ですか？

So oh 独りは確かに孤独だけど
自由も無限だった
制限されるにつれ分かったのは
なんにしろ孤独は消えない

正直もんがバカをみる
なんて良く言ったもんだわ
鵜呑みにするなら
You're full of shit

人の幸せが嫉ましいですか？
見えてるのは全てでしょうか？
画面上だけで決めてませんか？
果たしてそれはリアルでしょうか？

You say 「No!」「No!」
what you don't believe
生きるのは誰だってしんどい
I say 「Yes!」「Yes!」
what I do believe
We gotta be careful what's fiction

What you do believe

成功が人生のゴールですか？
その成功って何ですか？
枠にはまらないのは罪ですか？
その他大勢ならOK？

人の幸せが嫉ましいですか？
見えてるのは全てでしょうか？
画面上だけで決めてませんか？
果たしてそれはリアルでしょうか？

You say 「No!」「No!」
what you don't believe
完璧じゃないから美しい
I say 「Yes!」「Yes!」
what I do believe
We gotta be careful what's fiction

I understand what the official lyrics are but I think what she was trying to say in terms of grammar was what I posted. I can see how it might be confusing to a Japanese native to separate “don't” and “do” from the verb. It’s kind of a curveball in the English language, the proper construction of a sentence like this.

^It's right before the second chorus starts, just like the part where she sings "are you kidding me" before the first chorus.

@Zeke She sings "You say 「No!」「No!」 what you don't believe" and "I say 「Yes!」「Yes!」 what I do believe" and there's also a somewhat muffled "what you do believe" after the bridge ends.

I really love Nonfiction, I'd put it on repeat. I also like the MV, because she looks so pretty in both her looks.
The only thing I am not keen of, is that dramatic intro. Though it "works", a.k.a. less bothers me, in the mv, I wish the song could've skipped that part.

The song is at #18 on its third day! I'd have to check again but I think DaD left the top 20 on its third day.

EDIT: The PV was also trending at #15 in YouTube Japan's music section today! The views are currently at 390K!

23rd Monster only spent one day in the daily top 20, which was its debut at #2.

I'm so in love with this song. I keep listening at it. Love the rythm, the electro, Ayu's voice, the (too) short bridge. Last time I was so hyped with a song was Lelio and before that, Sparkle.

Love it.

I love it too, more than Lelio and Sparkle which I also loved. For me, this is easily one of my favorite tracks of hers ever.

You'd be surprised but native speakers do speak like that. You can even Google "don't have no choice" to see that it is used in other songs, even Pink used it.

I was curious about it, sometimes it's like a "street" language or a colloquial way of speaking.
