I Don’t Know How (But I’m Still Standing) by Daliana Monteiro is a soul and indie R&B ballad about getting through hard times in ways you cannot explain.
The words tell a personal story of survival. They never use church language or mention a congregation, but the message will feel familiar to anyone who has heard a gospel testimony.
There is a quiet strength that keeps you on your feet when everything around you falls apart. The song gives the credit to something bigger than willpower, a kind of grace you cannot put into words.
The music sounds like a private prayer. A simple acoustic guitar, warm electric keys, and a slow, gentle vocal give it a calm, thoughtful feel. Daliana sings with open honesty and moving ups and downs, and her soulful runs sit between old-school gospel feeling and modern indie soul.
You can play it on any indie or R&B playlist, but at its heart it is a song of thanks that lifts the spirit.
