"ID" (also referred to as "Identification") is the first studio album by American R&B/hip-hop singer Barbarian, set to be released on February 3, 2013 through Hot Eye Records. So far, producers enlisted for the album are Justin TC (Throat Cutters), Daniel, Stephanie Fierce and Cries X. Barbarian also took the role as songwriter for all songs on the album with no co-writers involved with the exception of collaboration tracks.

Barbara began the recording process of her debut album early in June 2012 before signing on to Hot Eye Records. Before the big singing, Barb had first linked up with Daniel after a discussion they had during their attendance of a fashion show in Paris. Despite Daniel being shocked by Barbarian's interest, he offered her the chance to have a recording session to test things out. They spent over a week recording the best songs that Barbarian had written during the past few years. "Get In Line" stood out of from all of the tracks, so the song was mixed and finalized for demo release. With that done, Barbarian began her record label hunt. She personally payed a visit to Hot Eye Records offices, where she turned in the demo. She was immediately called in for an audition and after a successful run, Barbarian signed her first music recording contract. After singing with HER (Hot Eye Records), Harris was provided with a team of experienced coaches and studio engineers to continue the recording process of her album.

The label then wasted no time, and allowed Barbarian to release the promo track "Get In Line" to airplay and digital outlets. Due to rave reviews, the song was performed live on "Ellen", becoming Barbarian's first televised performance. With the success of the performance, just days later, Barbarian appeared on late night comedy talk show "Chelsea Lately" to talk about the album where she also confirmed its title.

"Coming from a different world or industry, I do feel a little intimated because I want this so bad. I was fortunate enough to build a brand for myself in the modeling industry, but I have to prove myself even further now because I've entered a completely whole new world. As a singer this is my first album and I definitely want to have a say in it, but at the same time I want to learn from the pioneers of music and feed off of their knowledge. Not many artist get the chance to work with top producers on their first album, so I definitely wanted to take advantage of that. However, the one thing I do love to do and requested is to write my songs. I've been a songwriter since I was a little kid, so I was very happy with the fact that was able to have 100% say in my first album" - Barbarian

A snippet of "Love is Fire" was leaked on to the internet on July 26, 2012. After rave reviews, the label confirmed the song to be the album's lead single. However, the song's release was cancelled. In October, it was unveiled that the lead single off the album will be titled "Fierce". The song will be released on December 9, 2012 to both airplay and digital outlets.
