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."
"Stock Exchange" is credited as an electroclash song with disco and rave influences.[3]
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]
"Stock Exchange" appeared on the mix albums Fuck Me I'm Famous by David Guetta,[5] and FabricLive.33 by Spank Rock.[6]
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]
