"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]
