"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]".

She also has suicidal ideations as she sings that she is "dreaming of a hot bath, cutting my veins."
