Mobile first is just a new paradigm where you make your application fit a mobile screen first, then your second step is to scale up to web (or tablet).

Doing mobile first forces you to distil your app to just exactly the right components you need to achieve your product goal because there's so little real estate. It prevents you from adding non essential bullshit that you could easily throw into your design if you started with web.
