S.T.S (an abbreviation of Survive the Summer, and originally titled Surviving the Summer) is the fourth extended play (EP) by Australian rapper Iggy Azalea.

It was released on August 3, 2018 through Island Records. The pre-order was made available on July 6, 2018 along with the arrival of the lead single “Kream” featuring Tyga and the first promotional single entitled “Tokyo Snow Trip”.

Developed as a "visual extended play", the songs were originally intended to be accompanied by non-linear short films to illustrate the musical concepts conceived during production; however, the visual project was cancelled.

Works began in mid-2017 after the album Digital Distortion was scrapped.
