In November 2009, Gallagher announced that he and former Oasis band members had written new material as part of a new project, and could be gigging as early as a couple of months, and stated that "Oasis are done, this is something new".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nme.com/news/oasis/48361|title=Liam Gallagher: 'I'll play my first post-Oasis gigs in a couple of months'|publisher=NME|date=13 November 2009|access-date=3 October 2011|archive-date=11 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120311045906/http://www.nme.com/news/oasis/48361|url-status=live}}</ref> On 19 November 2009, he announced that he would be recording an album with Gem Archer, Andy Bell, and Chris Sharrock around Christmas time, with a possible release date in July 2010.<ref name="liam2010">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_10000000/newsid_10003000/10003070.stm|title=Liam Gallagher outlines solo LP plan|publisher=BBC|date=19 November 2009|access-date=19 November 2009|work=Newsbeat|archive-date=20 November 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091120051602/http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_10000000/newsid_10003000/10003070.stm|url-status=live}}</ref> He told MTV: "We've been demoing some songs that we've had for a bit. Just doing that, on the quiet, not making a big fuss about it. After Christmas we might go in the studio and record them and hopefully have an album out in July." He later said that the band would "do it in a different kind of way now. I'll try and reconnect with a new band, new songs, and I'm feeling confident about the songs." He was reported to have been "feeling a million percent confident that they could be better than Oasis".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://uk.news.launch.yahoo.com/dyna/article.html?a=/19112009/364/liam-gallagher-new-band-better-oasis.html&e=l_news_dm |title=Liam Gallagher: 'New band will be better than Oasis' |work=[[Yahoo!

On 3 April 2011, Beady Eye headlined a [[2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Japan Tsunami Disaster]] relief concert at the [[Brixton Academy]]. Gallagher organised the star-studded event as a fundraiser for the devastating event that happened on 11 March 2011. The event raised over £150,000 for the [[British Red Cross]], which was working in the earthquake and tsunami-hit country.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.xfm.co.uk/news/2011/japan-disaster-benefit-thousands|title=Japan Disaster Benefit Raises Thousands|publisher=[[Xfm]]|date=4 April 2011|access-date=3 October 2011|archive-date=7 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110407090350/http://www.xfm.co.uk/news/2011/japan-disaster-benefit-thousands|url-status=live}}</ref> Gallagher also announced that Beady Eye's version of [[the Beatles]]' "Across the Universe", which they performed on the night, would be released as a charity single, to benefit the fundraising.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.xfm.co.uk/news/2011/beady-eye-to-release-beatles-cover|title=Beady Eye to Release Beatles Cover|publisher=Xfm|date=5 April 2011|access-date=3 October 2011|archive-date=27 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120927152006/http://www.xfm.co.uk/news/2011/beady-eye-to-release-beatles-cover|url-status=live}}</ref>

The band's second studio album ''[[BE (Beady Eye album)|BE]]'' was released on 12 June 2013. It was recorded with [[Dave Sitek]] between November 2012 and March 2013. The band embarked on a corresponding tour playing a "secret gig" at Glastonbury. In contrast to his headlining spot with Oasis, Beady Eye featured as one of the first bands to open the festival. Gallagher stated it was a "refreshing" change. BE was not as successful in the United States as Gallagher and the rest of the band had hoped. This hindered their American popularity, and it was announced there would be no tour dates scheduled for the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/be-mw0002543365|title=Be – Beady Eye {{!}} Songs, Reviews, Credits {{!}} AllMusic|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=3 September 2018|archive-date=3 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180903045859/https://www.allmusic.com/album/be-mw0002543365|url-status=live}}</ref> ''BE'' received a mixed critical reception.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.metacritic.com/music/be/beady-eye|title=Metacritic – Beady Eye|publisher=[[Metacritic]]|access-date=23 November 2013|archive-date=24 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131124151750/http://www.metacritic.com/music/be/beady-eye|url-status=live}}</ref> Many positive reviews complimented the band's progression from their debut album, while negative reviews criticised the album's lyrics and production.

Simon Harper of ''[[Clash (magazine)|Clash]]'' magazine said, "Shades of light and dark ripple throughout and keep the listener guessing... (On 'Soul Love') Liam Gallagher's cosmic vibe is matched by the first distinct stamp of producer David Sitek's ambient adventuring, which commandeers the second-half of the song, letting it drift dreamily skywards. This is what permeates ''BE'', making it sonically enchanting."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Harper |first1=Simon |title=Beady Eye – BE |url=https://www.clashmusic.com/reviews/beady-eye-be |website=Clash Magazine |access-date=1 April 2019 |date=6 May 2013 |archive-date=2 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402005946/https://www.clashmusic.com/reviews/beady-eye-be |url-status=live }}</ref> On 25 October 2014, Gallagher announced that Beady Eye had disbanded.
