Work in Progress is the third extended play by English singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone. It was released on 15 March 2024. Released just six months after her debut album, Paint My Bedroom Black (2023), Humberstone initially planned on releasing a deluxe edition of the album but decided against it. She did not want to release filler songs and instead searched through her archive of demos and found unfinished tracks that she felt determined to release.

The lyrical content of Work in Progress dissects themes including uncertainty around love, anxiety, imperfect relationships and depression. The majority of the EP was produced by Rob Milton, a long-time collaborator of Humberstone's. It was mostly praised by critics, who complimented Humberstone's vocals and vulnerable songwriting, as well as praising the production of the tracks.
