Edge of Glory fue inspirada por el abuelo de Lady Gaga que estaba al final de su vida. Gaga expresó que la canción celebra tanto la vida como la muerte, y fue escrita como un tributo a él. La canción habla de estar al borde de la gloria, con letras que reflejan una apreciación por los últimos momentos de la vida.
