What Can You Do to Me Now is a 1975 album by country singer Willie Nelson.

Issued after Nelson had left Atlantic Records, then signing with Columbia Records, this album was the third compilation of Willie Nelson songs from RCA in as many years. While 1973's Country Winners and 1974's Spotlight on Willie Nelson appeared on the budget Camden label, this appeared on RCA's full-price Victor.

All ten songs were sourced from Willie's earlier RCA albums, using the original stereo LP mixes. However, some of these songs would later be reissued with added overdubs. For example, "I Gotta Get Drunk" appears here in its original studio version; when it was issued as part of the "Willie Nelson Live" album the following year, RCA overdubbed crowd and applause not present on the original recording.

To promote the album, RCA issued "Fire And Rain"/"I'm A Memory" as a single (RCA PB-10429).
