"Stock Exchange" is the third single from the duo Miss Kittin & The Hacker's debut album First Album.
Writing and inspiration
Lyrically, "Stock Exchange" deals with the life of a high end Wall Street businesslady. The lyrics support this, including how the men "touch her bum in the lift of the Empire State [building]". And also the lyrics, "Is it real this pink punk costume I wear? All the time to seduce Japanese 'hommes d'affaire' [English:businessmen]." She also has suicidal ideations as she sings that she is "dreaming of a hot bath, cutting my veins."
Composition
"Stock Exchange" is credited as an electroclash song with disco and rave influences. [3]
Critical reception
Mark Beaumont of NME said that Miss Kittin "monotones like a German robot Cheeky Girl over some nifty "Vice City" disco, prompting a moral debate on whether its possible to sexually assualt [sic] a lift tannoy system." [4]
Cultural impact
"Stock Exchange" appeared on the mix albums Fuck Me I'm Famous by David Guetta, [5] and FabricLive.33 by Spank Rock. [6]
Music video
The music video for "Stock Exchange" was directed by Régis Brochier of 7th Floor Productions. [7]

Miss Kittin performed "Stock Exchange" live at the Sónar festival and included it on her album Live at Sónar. [8]
