In this paper we study the $η'$ in $N_f=2+1+1$ lattice QCD simulations at finite temperature. Results are obtained from the analysis of the gluonic defined topological charge density correlator after gradient flow. Our results indicate the growth of the $η'$ mass above the pseudocritical temperature, associated with the chiral symmetry restoration. In the vicinity of the pseudocritical temperature the results are consistent with a small dip in the $η'$ mass. The magnitude of the dip is compatible with the reduction of the $η'$ mass obtained by experimental analysis and suggests that $η'$ mass comes close to zero temperature non-anomalous contribution.
