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 ".

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.
