It's a Real Cruel World is the fourth extended play by the English singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone. It was released on 5 June 2026 through Polydor Records as a companion project to her second studio album, Cruel World. Released two months after the album, it is composed of four reimagined versions of songs included on Cruel World. Humberstone has admitted that she found it difficult to select songs to include since she felt she could have reimagined the entirety of Cruel World, but ultimately went with four fan-favourites: "White Noise", "To Love Somebody", "Red Chevy" and "Cruel World". She did not want them to be "basic acoustic versions" and opted to experiment with the instruments used and add ad libs, as well as making the tracks appropriate for summer.
